I didn't see the original post to this (only the quoted below) -- but -- to
synch a SAM with the other servers, simply run " net accounts /synch " from
a prompt or run box. (Start, Run, type "net accounts /synch" & click OK
after adding user.)
A moderate amount of perl scripting or programming will create your user ftp
directories & rights. If I were you, I'd incorporate it all into one
script/program, as suggested below. Most mail servers that use SAM will
auto-create a directory when the person is emailed (if it's not already
created). Have your adduser script add the user & send a welcome.text file
to a cgi-email gateway so that they have email waiting. Also have it create
their FTP directory & set rights. Perl should be quite sufficient for doing
this -- it would be making calls to system programs such as cacls.exe and
net.exe (net user add etc.)
If you don't want to program, then there's plenty of full packages available
with email support, such as Emerald...
Just my $0.02 1/2.
