Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects
Creating Leaf Objects
Standardizing the value for the Location property for all User objects at the
site (such as M1, M2, and M3) makes it possible to search for objects
located in each building.
Creating Leaf Objects Using NetWare Administrator
Prerequisites
• A 386 or later workstation and NetWare Administrator
• The Create object right to the container that will contain the new container object
Procedure
1 From the Windows Program Manager, click on the “NetWare Administrator”
icon.
2 Select the object that will contain the new leaf object.
For information on moving around in the browser and selecting objects, press
<F1>.
If you are creating User objects, remember that users who are using non-
NetWare 4.1 workstations must be created in the container where the bindery
services context is set for the server that they need to log in to.
NOTE: You can create User objects for users who have NetWare 4.1 workstations anywhere
in the Directory tree, but the users must know their context in order to log in. You
should create User objects in the container where the users will typically log in.
3 From the “Object” menu, choose “Create.”
4 Select the class of object you are creating from the “New Object” dialog box.
If the class of object you selected does not appear under “New Object,” you
cannot create this object in this container. Select or create another container to
hold the object.
5 Choose “OK.”
Each type of leaf object that you create has a different “Create” dialog box. For
details on each dialog box, choose “Help.”
The property fields that are displayed in the “Create” dialog box are mandatory.
You must enter information in these fields.
The check boxes that are displayed in the “Create” dialog box are optional.
Usually, you can select only one box, not both.
