3.2 Which Services Do I Need?

We recommend that you review the brief overviews included at the beginning of each service
section in this guide to get a full picture of the solutions that OES 2 offers. It is not uncommon that
administrators discover capabilities in OES that they didn't know existed.

3.3 Exploring OES 2 services

We also recommend that you explore commonly used OES services by following the step-by-step
instructions provided in the

3.4 Plan for eDirectory

eDirectory is the heart of OES network services and security.
If you are installing into an existing tree, be sure you understand the information in
"eDirectory Coexistence and Migration," on page
If you are creating a new eDirectory tree on your network, you must do some additional planning
before you install the first server into the tree. The first server is important for two reasons:

You create the basic eDirectory tree structure during the first installation

The first server permanently hosts the Certificate Authority for your organization
To ensure that your eDirectory tree meets your needs, take time to plan the following:

Structure of the eDirectory tree: A well-designed tree provides containers for servers, users,
printers, etc. It is also optimized for efficient data transfer between geographically dispersed
locations. For more information, see
Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration

Time synchronization: eDirectory requires that all OES 2 servers, both NetWare and Linux,
be time synchronized. For more information, see
