Planning NetWare Directory Services Implementation
Overview
Overview
This chapter provides instruction for planning an implementation of the
NetWare® Directory Services™ (NDS) technology on your network.
The following topics are discussed on the indicated pages:
The size of your network determines the amount of planning necessary for
implementing the NDS™ technology—the larger the network, the more
planning might be required.
A small network implementation of a Directory tree with only one container
object needs minimal, if any, planning of the Directory tree structure.
A large network with thousands of users, hundreds of servers, hundreds of
printers, and dozens of network supervisors in various departments benefits
greatly from advanced planning of the Directory tree structure.
Regardless, NDS makes all of your network resources available in one
information system, with an overall strategy for consistent and logical
organization of network resources.
