    NetWare Configuration Configure Using NetWare 4.x NetWare Directory Services Overview NetWare Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Gener- ally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects, such as printers, print servers and print queues.
  • Page 58 NetWare Configuration Configure Using NetWare 4.x NetWare Directory Services Overview (continued) Information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server, since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applica- tions making Bindery requests will not know the difference.
