Dear David: I did not know that schemas are used for network administration. My 3 Novell students out west did an interesting project about this based on what they learned in my course. The second hyperlink in http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/course/f97/projects/novell/NovellGroup/ points to a directory services white paper. Are you using a schema to manage our networks? Would NDS be for us? -- Karl
