Implementing NDS on Various Sizes of Networks
The following discussions outline the recommended implementation of
NDS features and functionality specific for small, medium, and large
networks. You must decide which method or combination of methods best
suits your organization’s particular needs and requirements.
If you are implementing NDS in a medium-to-large-sized network, you
might benefit from the information provided in chapter 7, “Planning
NetWare Directory Services Implementation” for help in developing an
implementation plan for NDS.

• The departmental structure of the organization
The following figure shows a Directory tree in which ACCT (Accounting),
