LAN Server Administators Tools

(Note: the following opening line was written years before the birth of WMI scripting.)

Nothing beats IBM's LAN Server RexxUtil if it comes to creating network administration tools.
It can be found as lsrxut.dll or lsrxut.zip, depending on the LAN Server version, in the \OS2CLNT directory of the LAN/Warp Server CD-ROM.

Most tools presented here are examples from the LAN Server RexxUtil documentation, to which I only added help screens if necessary.
Others, like LHomeDir and RHomeDir, don't use LAN Server RexxUtil at all, though their performance would probably improve if they did.
Finally, I also added some batch files to this list. At least the ones I think are of use to administrators.

The "LS or Peer" column states if the Rexx program may be used on LAN Server networks only or OS/2 Peer-to-peer as well.

Note: (1) Though LHomeDir will work on OS/2 Peer networks, it is rather unlikely that OS/2 Peer servers will contain home directories.
