Renaming objects using NetWare Administrator

The following list describes the prerequesites:

• A 386 or later workstation and NetWare Administrator

• The Rename object right to the object that you want to rename

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

2. Using the browser, select the object that you want to rename.

3. From the Object menu, choose Rename.

4. Type the new name for the object you selected.

5. (Optional) Select ``Save Old Name''.

   Select this option if you want the old name saved as a value in the ``Other Names'' field of the ``Details'' screen.

   If you save the old name, users who do not know the object's new name can search for the object under the old name.

6. (Optional) If you are renaming a container object, select ``Create Alias in Place of Renamed Container''.

   If you do not create an alias, users who are unaware that the container has been renamed cannot easily find the object in the Directory tree. Also, users whose name context in their NET.CFG file references the renamed container might be unable to log in.

7. To save the changes and return to the browser, choose OK.

   If you renamed a container object, you should use the NCUPDATE utility to update the name context of users in the renamed container. See ``NCUPDATE'' for details.
