12.11.4 Restore NDS/eDirectory to the Source Server
By removing NDS/eDirectory from the source server, you removed the server from any replica rings
that held a partition of the source server. Now you must complete the following procedure to restore
NDS/eDirectory to the source server.
1 Enter one of the following at the server console:
• load install (if source server was running NetWare 4)
• load nwconfig (if source server was running NetWare 5 or later)
2 Select Directory Services > Install Directory Services onto This Server.
3 Select the eDirectory tree where the source server existed prior to migration.
4 Select a time zone and time configuration parameters.
Make a note of any warnings or errors that appear during the restoration of eDirectory and
press Esc to continue without fixing the errors.
5 Enter the Admin name and password.
6 Type the context where the source server existed prior to migration, then press F10.
7 Save the NDS (Directory) information.
8 Wait while the server synchronizes with the eDirectory tree, which might take a while.
9 Return to the INSTALL or NWCONFIG utility and select Directory Options > Directory Back
Up and Restore > Restore Reference from another Object to This Server.
This restores all references that you assigned to the Server object when you removed
eDirectory from the destination server.
10 Press Enter.
11 Enter the full Admin username as the placeholder object distinguished name, then specify Root
as the distinguished name to change from.
12 Exit the NWCONFIG or INSTALL utility.
13 At the server console of the source server, enter load dsrepair.
14 Select Unattended Full Repair > Advanced Options > Check Volume Objects and Trustees.
15 Enter the Admin username and password.
16 Exit DSREPAIR.
17 At the workstation where you performed the migration, open your project. (Make sure you
have removed eDirectory from the destination server, as instructed in
eDirectory from the Destination Server" on page
temporary tree with its temporary server name.)
18 From the Migration Wizard Project menu, select Restore Trustees to restore the trustee
assignments.
19 (Conditional) If the source server held the master replica of any partitions and you want to
restore these partitions prior to doing the eDirectory migration again, use DSREPAIR to re-
create them.
The source server is now restored to its original configuration.
