Understanding the eDirectory Schema Extension

DNS/DHCP Global eDirectory Objects

It operates within the common eDirectory Management Framework
(iManage) and is thus tightly integrated with Netware 6.
For more detailed information about the DNS/DHCP Management Utility,
refer to "Understanding the DNS/DHCP Management Utility" on page
The eDirectory schema extension defines additional objects needed for DNS
and DHCP.
For more information, refer to:
"DNS/DHCP Global eDirectory Objects" on page 21
"New eDirectory Objects for DNS" on page 22
"eDirectory Objects for DHCP" on page 24
When you select Novell DNS/DHCP Services during NetWare 6 installation,
the eDirectory schema is extended to enable the creation of DNS and DHCP
objects, and the following objects are created:
DNS/DHCP Locator object
DNS/DHCP Group object
RootSrvrInfo Zone
Only one copy of these objects exists in an eDirectory tree. The DNS servers,
DHCP servers, and DNS/DHCP Management Utility must have access to
these objects.
The DNS/DHCP Group object is a standard eDirectory group object. The
DNS and DHCP servers gain the rights to DNS and DHCP data within the tree
through the Group object. When the DNS/DHCP Management Utility is used
to create DNS and DHCP servers, the servers have the rights required to
access data.
The DNS/DHCP Locator object contains global defaults, DHCP options, and
lists of all DNS and DHCP servers, subnets, and zones in the tree. The DNS/
DHCP Management Utility can display these objects without having to search
the tree by using the Locator object. The Locator object is basically hidden by
the DNS/DHCP Management Utility.
