Explanation
Because ConsoleOne is Java-based, it can run on Windows, NetWare,
Linux*, Solaris*, and Tru64 UNIX*. The legacy NetWare Administrator, NDS
Manager TM , and Schema Manager tools run only on Windows.
ConsoleOne lets you manage the latest Novell products and enhancements,
whereas NetWare Administrator and other legacy tools aren't being updated
to do so. For example, you can administer DirXML, Single Sign-on, and
Certificate Server only in ConsoleOne.
If your tree is running NDS 8 and has containers with thousands of objects,
browsing it in ConsoleOne is faster and more consistent. NetWare
Administrator is slower opening large containers and is limited by available
RAM.
If a tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is configured for DNS
federation, ConsoleOne lets you access contexts in that tree whether or not
you are logged in to the tree. This allows you to treat multiple eDirectory trees
as a single system for purposes of assigning rights and memberships. No
legacy tool exposes this capability. See
page 30.
If your tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later, ConsoleOne lets you create
filtered replicas that contain only the objects and properties needed for
synchronization with specific applications like PeopleSoft*. No legacy tool has
this capability. See "Managing Replication" on page
ConsoleOne lets you generate reports on eDirectory objects, users, groups,
and security. No legacy tool has these capabilities. See
on page 99.
ConsoleOne lets you create any object type defined in the schema of your
eDirectory tree, including custom types you've added. NetWare Administrator
can only create object types for which it has snap-ins. See
Manipulating Objects" on page
ConsoleOne lets you generically edit any object property defined in the
schema of your eDirectory tree, including custom properties you've added. No
legacy tool has this capability. ConsoleOne also lets you modify multiple
objects of any class in a single operation, including files and folders on
NetWare volumes. NetWare Administrator lets you do this only on User
objects. See "Creating and Manipulating Objects" on page
ConsoleOne lets you define auxiliary classes and extend any eDirectory
object with the properties defined in auxiliary classes. No legacy tool has this
capability. See "Defining and Using Auxiliary Classes" on page
