This is what we do here at Terra:
Query the SIS database
for all registered students for the term with the following output:
The
first line of the command procedure sets the variable %node% to
imailserver.terra.edu with the following line as part of the report
form:
set node=imailserver.terra.edu
The
adduser -u is part of the report form:
for the userid we
concatenate the last name with the Student ID
The -h %node%
-n " is part of the report form:
-n As stated the students first
and last name within quotation marks
He " -p is part of
the report form:
-p initial password could be SSN or phone number including
hyphens
Adduser -u Last_namestudentid -h %node%
-n "First LastName" -p something
Example
- The contents of the file may look like this:
---------
Set
node=imailserver.terra.edu
Adduser -u addaname23456 -h %node% -n "Joe
Addaname" -p 414-555-1212
Adduser -u baldwin09876 -h %node% -n "Mary Baldwin"
-p 414-555-1313
---------
The return addresses are then populated by
the system as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I hope this
helps...

Subject: [IMail Forum] alias &
adduser.exe
We want to automate creation of student accounts using the
adduser feature and an auto-generated text file. We want to use students
ID numbers as the UserID and their full names as alias. Unfortunately when
using the text file, First Name field gets populated with the student ID number
and the Reply To populates with the student ID also. Thus, the students ID
numbers are displayed on emails they would send. This is a problem.
Is there a way to use force the students full names into the First Name field
and their alias address into the Reply To field automatically?
We seem to
be bumping into limitation of the addusers syntax.
Using imail
8.05.
Thanks. Roger
