I work on a helpdesk and we frequently have to reset users passwords who cannot get logged in. What is the best way to find out a users correct Context in NWAdmin without having to search from the [root]? We have many contexts in our tree and searching from [root] takes a VERY long time. The big problem is that searching one context at a time takes a really long time as well. Is there a better way? Like using some DOS command or something to find out someone's correct context?

The NDS at my place of work has a tad under 29,000 users in it.
The best thing I find is to load NetWare Administrator, select the top level Organization or Organizational Unit, and run a search based on a Search for value of "User" and a property of "None". This will basically give you a list of all user objects in your NDS and although it may take 5 minutes to run, you can keep the Window open all day with all your users listed. When a customer gives you their User ID, you can pick it out easily and do whatever you need to do to it without searching the NDS all of the time.
