Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects

Moving Objects in the Directory Tree

“OK.”

7 Choose “Create Alias in Place of Moved Container.”

The Alias object will point to the partition’s new location.

8 In the “Move” dialog box, choose “OK.”

If you choose 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.

If you moved a container and created an alias in its place, you should use the

NCUPDATE utility to update the name context of users in the moved container.

For instructions, see “NCUPDATE” in Utilities Reference.

If you move a container object and do not create an alias, users who are

unaware of the object’s new location will not easily ﬁnd the object in the

Directory tree, since they will look for it in its original Directory location.

Also, users may not be able to log in if the name context in their

conﬁguration ﬁle (NET.CFG ﬁle) references the moved container.
