Setting up and managing NDS objects

Creating leaf objects using NETADMIN

The following list describes the prerequisites:

Carry out the following procedure:

  1. At the DOS prompt, type
    NETADMIN
    
    For information on moving around in NETADMIN and selecting objects, press <F1> after starting the utility.

  2. From the NetAdmin Options menu, select Manage Objects.

  3. Select the container that will contain the new leaf object.

    The objects in the selected container are listed.

    To see if you are in the right context, look at the title bar on the screen.

    Press <F1> for help.

    If you are creating User objects, remember that users who are using non-NetWare 4.1 workstations must be created in the container at which the bindery services context is set for the server that they need to log in to.

    You can create User objects for users who have NetWare 4.1 workstations anywhere in the Directory tree, but the users must know their context in order to log in. You should create User objects in the container where the users will typically log in.

  4. Press <Ins>.

  5. From the ``Select an Object Class'' screen, select the object class that you want to create.

    If the object class you want to create does not appear, you cannot create that object in the selected container. Press <Esc> to return to the browser; then select a different container type.

  6. Type the information you are prompted for and press <Enter>.

    Each leaf object that you create has a different dialog box. For details on each dialog box, press <F1> for help.

  7. If you want to create another leaf object, choose ``Yes''. If you do not, choose ``No''.

    If you choose ``Yes'', you are prompted for information about the next object you want to add. Repeat Step 6 and then continue with Step 8.

    If you choose ``No'', the leaf object is displayed in the Directory tree. Continue with Step 8.

  8. Press <F10> to edit this object.

    A menu appears from which you can choose to view or edit information about this object.

  9. Choose an option from the Actions menu and add any necessary information.

  10. To exit, press <Esc> until you return to the NetAdmin Options menu.
