Managing bindery services

Once NDS is installed, ADMIN can use the NETADMIN or NetWare Administrator utility to manage the Directory tree from a client workstation.

Using the NetWare DOS Requester software, your DOS-based client workstations can take full advantage of the NDS functionality and access the NDS administration tools, such as NETADMIN and NetWare Administrator, for managing bindery services.

Changing bindery context

You can use the scoadmin(1M) NetWare Setup utility or the nwcm(1Mipx) command line utility to set a server's bindery context.

For example, suppose you want to change a server's bindery context to the Organizational Unit MFG under the Organization object ACME. At the server, use the following command:

   nwcm -s ds_bindery_context="OU=MFG.O=ACME"

Changing Directory tree structure

You should always think about bindery services users when making changes to the Directory tree. A change in the structure of the tree could prevent some bindery services users from accessing the network or network objects.

Moving bindery contexts

If users are using bindery services within a specific container and that container is moved, you need to reset the bindery context on the servers users are logging in to.
