1.7.5 Installing into a Tree with Dotted Name Containers

You can install a NetWare server into an eDirectory tree that has containers with dots in the names
(for example, O=novell.com or C=u.s.a). Using containers with dotted names requires that those
dots be escaped with the backslash character. To escape a dot, simply put a backslash in front of any
dot in a container name. For example:
O=novell\.com
You cannot start a name with a dot. For example, you cannot create a container named ".novell"
because it starts with a dot ('.').
IMPORTANT: If your tree has containers with dotted names, you must escape those names when
logging into utilities such as iMonitor, iManager, and DHost iConsole. For example, if your tree has
"novell.com" as the name of the O, enter username.novell\.com in the Username field when logging
in to iMonitor (see Figure
