12.0 NTAdmin Knowledge Scripts

The NTAdmin category provides Knowledge Scripts for performing Windows administrative tasks or special one-time activities. To run Knowledge Scripts in this category, you need to be defined as a user with administrator privileges on the computer on which you run the scripts.

Some Knowledge Scripts perform AppManager administrative tasks or operations that should be restricted to a limited number of users. To control access to these Knowledge Scripts, the scripts are only made available to users who are assigned to the Administrator role through AppManager Security Manager.

Most of the administrative Knowledge Scripts are in the Action, AMAdmin, and NTAdmin categories, and by default these Knowledge Scripts are designated as being for administrators only. For more information, see the Administrator Guide for AppManager.

From the Knowledge Script view of Control Center, you can access more information about any NetIQ-supported Knowledge Script by selecting it and clicking Help. In the Operator Console, click any Knowledge Script in the Knowledge Script pane and press F1.
