Managing the NetWare Directory Services Tree
Creating and Managing Directory Services Partitions
Moving a Partition Using NETADMIN
Prerequisites
• A DOS workstation running DOS 3.30 or later and NETADMIN
• The Create object right to the destination container
Procedure
1 At the DOS prompt, type
NETADMIN <Enter>
For information on moving around in NETADMIN and selecting objects, press
<F1> after starting the utility. To see which container objects in the Directory
tree are partitions, exit NETADMIN and type “PARTMGR” at the command
line. Then browse the tree.
2 From the NETADMIN options menu, choose “Manage Objects.”
Your current context appears in the upper left corner.
3 Select the object that you want to move.
• If the object you want to move appears on the list, select it and press <F10>.
• If the object is not on the list, browse the directory by selecting container
objects and pressing <Enter> until you see the object you want. Select it and
press <F10>.
4 From the “Actions” menu, choose “Move.”
You can move a container object only if it is the root of a Directory partition and
it contains no subordinate partitions.
In NETADMIN, when you select a container object that is a partition, the
context-sensitive help at the bottom of the screen reads “This is a partition.”
Also, an asterisk (*) is displayed in front of the object name.
If the container you want to move is not a partition, you must use a partition-
management utility (PARTMGR or NetWare Administrator) to create the
container as a new partition.
5 Use the down-arrow key and highlight the “New Context” field.
6 Assign a new context to the object you want to move.
• If you know the new context that you want the object to be in, type the new
context in the highlighted field.
• If you do not know the new context that you want the object to be in, press
