WARNING: Do not change a server’s bindery context once you have set it. Doing so will
prevent all bindery services users (from the original context) who need to log in
to that server from accessing the network. Changing the server’s bindery
context can also disable access to print queues.
When you install any NetWare server into the Directory tree, a NetWare
Server object is created in the same container object the server object was
installed in. The user must set the bindery context for that container object.
A writable replica of the partition that the bindery context is located in must
be stored on each server you want bindery services enabled on. This is done
by default when you install a server into a new context.
During installation, if a NetWare server object is placed in an existing
context and there are less than three replicas on the network, a writable
replica of the partition containing that context is placed on the server.
Although bindery services is enabled during installation of NetWare, you
can disable it by setting bindery context to null using either the NetWare
Setup (graphical) or the nwcm (command line) configuration utility.
The objects in the container object set as the bindery context must conform
to bindery object naming rules.
