Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects
Creating Container Objects
Creating Container Objects
You can create container objects using either NetWare Administrator or
NETADMIN. Both of these methods are described in this section.
Considerations for naming container objects and suggestions for creating
searchable objects are also described here.
Types of Container Objects
The kinds of container objects you can create are Country, Organization, and
Organizational Unit. The top object, called Root, is created by default, and is
placed at the top of the Directory tree when NetWare Services is installed.
Container objects form the top levels of the Directory tree. Use them to
manage and organize the top level of the Directory tree.
For more information about planning the top levels of your Directory tree,
see chapter 2, “Understanding NetWare Directory Services” in Introduction
to NetWare Directory Services.
Figure 2-1 shows the hierarchy of container objects and leaf objects in
NetWare Directory Services. (The icons represent the leaf objects as they
appear in NetWare Administrator.)
