The attached utility can be used to simplify modifying all 
the NetworkID fields in the GroupWise address book to have a full 
Distinguished Name (typeless) so that GroupWise will properly use the 
existing login ID in a NetWare 4 environment.  It depends on the API gateway 
and works like this:

1) Drop a text file into the API_IN directory in GroupWise's API gateway 
dir (gwdomain\wpgate\api\api_in). The file looks like this:

WPC-API= 1.2;
MSG-TYPE= ADMIN;
DS-USER= 
	Operation= List;
        ;

2) Run cn2dn.exe and select the .API file that was dropped into API_OUT by 
the API gateway after processing that input file in step one.

3) Select "Resolve all" to walk through the GroupWise user list and search 
NDS for the first matching CN for each user. This will create a file called 
CN2DNOUT.API in whatever directory you were in when ran the program.

4) I would hand examine the output file to see if it looks right.

5) If you like what is in the file, drop it in the API_IN directory and let 
the API gateway cycle.

6) Check the results in AD, NWADMIN, or the GroupWise address book.

This utility hasn't received very extensive QA or testing.
