Managing the NetWare Directory Services Tree
Creating and Managing Directory Services Partitions
This might also cause client workstations to fail at login if the NAME
CONTEXT parameter in the NET.CFG file is set to the original location in the
Directory tree.
Because the context of an object changes when you move it, users whose name
context in their configuration file (NET.CFG file) references the moved object
need to update their NET.CFG so that it references the object’s new name.
To automatically update users’ NET.CFG file with a new name context after
moving an object, use the NCUPDATE utility. For instructions, see
“NCUPDATE” in Utilities Reference.
8 In the “Move” dialog box, choose “OK.”
If you chose to create an alias in place of the moved container, NetWare
Administrator polls for the creation of the Alias object before it moves the
selected partition.
Unless you want the partition you just moved to remain a partition, you should
merge it with its parent partition to avoid having an unnecessary partition in the
Directory tree. See “Merging Partitions” in this chapter.
You need to wait for processes throughout the Directory tree to be complete
before you can perform another partition operation with this object.
