If no NDS tree exists, you can install NDS eDirectory 8.5. The installation program creates
an NDS tree.
If your NDS tree does not have a Novell Certificate Server, the NDS installation program
does the following:
! Creates a Security container object for the entire NDS tree
This object is created at the top of the NDS tree and must remain there.
! Creates an Organizational Certificate Authority (CA) object
! Places the Organizational CA object in the Security container
Only one Organizational CA object can exist in an NDS tree. Because you must not move
this object from one server to another, ensure that the first NDS server is the one that you
intend to permanently host the Organizational CA object.
PREREQUISITES
" Because NTFS provides a safer transaction process than a FAT file system
provides, you can only install NDS on an NTFS partition. Therefore, if you only have
FAT file systems, do one of the following:
! Create a new partition and format it as NTFS.
Use Disk Administrator. Refer to Windows NT Server User Guide for more
information.
! Convert an existing FAT file system to NTFS, using the CONVERT command.
If your server only has a FAT file system and you forget or overlook this process, the
installation program prompts you to provide an NTFS partition.
" If you are installing NDS eDirectory for NT into an NDS tree that has NetWare and
NT servers, each NetWare server must be running one of the following:
! NetWare 4.2 with NDS 6.09 or later
! NetWare 5.0 with Support Pack 5 or later
! NetWare 5.1
Each NT server must be running eDirectory 8.0 or later.
UPDATING THE NDS SCHEMA
IMPORTANT:
follow the instructions in "Updating the NDS Schema" on page 11.
If the master replica of the Tree partition resides on a NetWare server,
