Novell eDirectory 8.6 for NT upgrades NT servers running NT Service Pack 4 or later and
eDirectory 8.35 or later.
If no eDirectory tree exists, you can install eDirectory 8.6. The installation program creates an
eDirectory tree.
If your eDirectory tree does not have a Novell Certificate Server
program does the following:
Creates a Security container object for the entire eDirectory tree
This object is created at the top of the eDirectory 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 eDirectory tree. Because you must not move
this object from one server to another, ensure that the first eDirectory 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 eDirectory 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 eDirectory for NT/2000 into an eDirectory tree that has NetWare
NT/2000 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 with Support Pack 1 or later
NetWare 6
Each NT/2000 server must be running eDirectory 8.0 or later.
