You can identify the forwards by looking for a forward.ima file in each user directory. Below is a batch file that will create a file containing the forwards that are currently set. You will need to set the right directory locations for your users and where you want the forward.log file written. GFPSAdmin is my directory under the Imail directory for administrative stuff
bob ------------------------ begin @echo off echo. echo This batch looks for the file named forward.ima in each users echo directory. It can be used to determine the accounts that have a echo forward setup. It writes out a file of userids (folders) that have echo the forward.ima file set. Resulting file is named forwards.log echo I currenly have it writing out the new forward.ima entry for the user. echo . rem pause d: cd \imail del GFPSAdmin\forwards.log rem building userlist based on directory only dir /B /AD users>GFPSAdmin\dirlist.txt echo.>GFPSAdmin\forwards.log echo Please wait searching directories ... rem This for loop loops through the dirlist.txt file looking for the filename rem forward.ima in each folder in the file. If it finds it, it writes the rem folder(userid) to the forwards.log file. rem Note that this command must all be on one single line: FOR /F "eol= tokens=1,* delims=/" %%i in (GFPSAdmin\dirlist.txt) do if exist .\users\%%i\forward.ima echo %%i>>GFPSAdmin\forwards.log rem echo Check file GFPSAdmin\forwards.log for details. rem echo. -----------end On Wednesday, January 28, 2004 9:10 AM, Marc A.
