Setting up and managing NDS objects

Moving leaf objects using NetWare Administrator

NetWare Administrator lets you move objects using either dialog boxes or the drag-and-drop method. Both are documented here.

Using dialog boxes

The following list describes the prerequesites:

Carry out the following procedure:

  1. From the Windows Program Manager or the OS/2 desktop, click on the ``NetWare Administrator'' icon.

  2. From the browser window, select one or more leaf objects.

    To select multiple leaf objects, press <Ctrl> on the keyboard and, without releasing <Ctrl>, select the objects with the mouse.

  3. From the Object menu, choose Move.

  4. Select the browser button to the right of the ``Destination'' box.

    The ``Directory Context'' box appears in the lower right corner of the screen. Use this field to browse the Directory tree's containers.

    The ``Objects'' box that appears in the lower left corner shows the containers that appear when you browse the Directory.

  5. From the ``Objects'' box, select a container object (an Organization or Organizational Unit) as the location to move the listed objects to; then choose OK.

  6. In the ``Move'' dialog box, choose OK.

    The listed objects are moved to the destination container.

Using drag-and-drop

The following list describes the prerequesites:

Carry out the following procedure:

  1. From the Windows Program Manager or the OS/2 desktop, click on the ``NetWare Administrator'' icon.

  2. (Optional) From the Tools menu, open another browser window by selecting Browse.

    If you can see both the object and the destination container in one browser window, it is not necessary to open two browser windows. Go directly to Step 4.

  3. Reshape the browser windows, using the window borders, so that you can view both windows at once.

  4. From one of the browser windows, select one or more leaf objects.

    To select multiple leaf objects, press <Ctrl>, and without releasing <Ctrl> select the objects with the mouse.

  5. Press <Ctrl> and, without releasing <Ctrl>, click and hold down on the object(s) and drag the object(s) to the destination container; then release the mouse button.

  6. In the ``Move'' dialog box, choose OK.

    The listed objects are moved to the destination container.
