Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects
Moving Objects in the Directory Tree
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.
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 tree 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 an NDS partition, and
only if 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.”
If the container you want to move is not a partition, you must first use a partition
management utility (PARTMGR or NetWare Administrator) and create the
container as a new partition.
5 Using the down-arrow key to reach the field, 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 it in the
highlighted field.
• If you do not know the new context that you want the object to be in, press
<Insert> twice to browse the Directory for the destination container; then
select the destination container and press <F10>.
7 To accept the new context as the destination container, press <Enter>.
8 To confirm that you want to move the object listed in the “Old Context” field to
the container listed in the “New Context” field, press <F10>.
9 To create an alias in place of the moved container, choose “Yes.”
The Alias object will point to the partition’s new location.
