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. For instructions, see
“NCUPDATE” in Utilities Reference.
