Many of our EMU customers have asked us if it is possible to have EMU automatically create eDirectory and GroupWise user accounts. That option is not yet available in EMU, however, one of our customers has come up with a BRILLIANT solution!
This Novell Cool Solution article was published by Scott Owen from Alma Public Schools. As you will see in the full article, Scott put together a pretty innovative way to schedule EMU to automatically create eDirectory and GroupWise user accounts based on a text file that is exported daily from their student registration system.
By combining AutoHotKey, Bmail, EMU and a custom EMUScript.AHK script, Scott no longer has to manually run EMU to create accounts - everything is automated! This strategy could come in handy for smaller schools or school districts that do not have the budget for Novell Identity Manager.
The nicest thing about the solution is that it is compatible with all versions of EMU and it's FREE thanks to Scott's willingness to share his solution with you.

We would love to hear from you if you are successful in modifying Scott's work and automating the account creation process in your environment. Even better, share your successes and questions in this forum!
Best regards,
