Management Tools
Network administrators use native OES
and Windows storage management
tools to create and manage storage
devices on OES and Windows servers,
respectively.
Windows management tools can also
manage share access rights and POSIX
file system rights on DSfW storage
devices after the shares are created.
They cannot create the shares or
perform other device management
tasks.

Universal Password in a Name-Mapped Scenario
If you install DSfW into an existing tree and your users don't currently have a Universal Password
policy assigned, they won't be able to log in without the Novell Client until the Universal Password
has been set.
Therefore, you should consider implementing Universal Password and giving users an opportunity
to log into the network before installing DSfW. Logging in after a password policy is in place creates
a Universal Password for users so that their transition to DSfW is seamless.
DSfW Must Be Installed at the Root of an eDirectory Partition
You must install DSfW in the root container or an eDirectory partition, either one that currently
exists or one that you create for DSfW. In both cases, the first DSfW server installed in the partition
becomes the master of the partition.
