WHOS-IN Pro - Admin Help

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. I have a shared PC. How do I set up WHOS-IN to run several copies with different user names on the same machine?

A. From the workstation, select the user(s) you require, then choose the ''Tools Menu / New Icon for selected users'' option. To run several copies, simply choose the Icon with the appropriate name, minimize it, then choose the next Icon (with a different user name). Both copies will run side-by-side on the one PC.

Q. I have deleted a person using the Admin DELETE USER function, but they keep reappearing. What's happening?

A. Someone is starting WHOS-IN using the user name that you have deleted. When you delete a user, you should also delete the Icon from the users Windows Desktop and / or Startup folder, and also from the users Network Login script (if you have this option enabled).

Q. How do I set up a login script?
A. WHOS-IN Pro now uses the Network Logon ID as the primary method of retrieving the users details via a parameter, and extracts their 'Name' from the WHOS-IN database based on the User ID supplied. Example: \\YourServer\YourShare\PathToWhosIn\USER.EXE -UID:%USERNAME%

For a Novell network, substitute %USER for %USERNAME%

NOTE: If your login script does not close after executing WHOS-IN, prefix the command line with the START command. Example:
START \\YourServer\YourShare\PathToWhosIn\user.exe -UID:%username%
( Ensure there is a SPACE between the START and the \\ )
