SUMMARY
=======

Listnt.exe is a utility that lists computers from the Systems Management Server
SQL database, as specified by certain parameters. The following is an example of
the syntax of Listnt.exe:

     LISTNT /A:<account> [/P:<password>] [/W|/S] [/NOPCM] [/O:<filename>]

The following table describes the available parameters for Listnt.exe.

                     database.

  /P:<password>      Specifies the SQL account password (this is optional
                     for integrated security).
