In the left pane you'll see the "NDS" container, which holds the eDirectory
trees that you are currently logged in to. You can cause additional eDirectory
trees to appear in the NDS container by logging in to those trees. For trees that
®
are running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and are configured for DNS
federation, you can cause specific contexts of those trees to appear in the NDS
container without actually logging in to those trees.
Once you are in an eDirectory tree or context and its objects are listed in the
right pane, you can use the techniques described below to locate the specific
objects you want to manage.
