NetWare Directory Services

Planning NetWare Directory Services Implementation
Organizing Objects into a Logical Hierarchy
Figure 7-6 Example Logical Layout and Leaf Object Names
Notice that in this example all the usernames start with the initial of the first
name, followed by the last name. Also notice that the names for LaserJet*
printers include an “LJ” and Apple* printers include an “APL”.
These are just examples of how naming standards can be used in the
Directory tree. However you decide to name your objects, you should
standardize naming throughout the Directory tree in order to exploit the
Directory to its fullest.
