Dump name from ID file

Like many shops, we have a network directory with thousands of Notes ID files. Which variation of JSMITH.ID belongs to Jane Smith, who lost her id file or forgot her password. We are now naming by network account, but have many using default conventions. This agent reads through a directory of ID files and writes a file displaying the file name and the most current Notes canonical name (accounts for name changes in an id file).


' Name: dump Notes ID file
' Purpose: prints name of id file and most current name stored in ID.
'   prints NO NAME FOUND if no canonical name is found in the ID
