Beginning the installation

If you selected ``No'' in response to the option ``Start NetWare at Boot Time'' on the ``Server Parameters'' menu (Step 7 in ``Configuring the server''), you must start the server before attempting to install NetWare Directory Services. Refer to ``Starting the server''.

Complete the following steps to install NDS:

1. In either text or graphics mode, start up the Directory Services Install application using one of the following methods:

   • Enter the command scoadmin. When the scoadmin window appears, select ``NetWare'' then select ``Directory Services Install''.

   • At the command line, enter the following:
     
     scoadmin directory services install

     See the note on the case of characters in scoadmin command lines in ``Viewing system messages during installation''.

   Note, however, that in order to avoid the display of empty dialog boxes when used with an xterm, the installation program should be run on the console.

2. Select ``Install Directory Services onto this Server''.

   Based on how your network is configured one of the following appears. Go to the topic indicated.

   • If the prompt ``Is this the first NetWare 4 server?'' appears, go to ``A nonlocatable Directory tree, or the first server''.

   • If a menu that begins with the option ``Install into tree TREENAME'' appears, go to ``A single Directory tree is found''.

   • If a list entitled, ''Existing Directory Trees'' appears, go to ``Multiple directory trees are found''.
