Creating eDirectory Objects to Facilitate File
Management
When you install NetWare 4.x, 5.x, or 6 on a server, objects are automatically
created in the eDirectory tree to let you manage the server and its volumes.
You can create additional Server and Volume objects to manage the resources
of servers that are in other eDirectory trees or that are running earlier NetWare
versions. You can also create Directory Map objects to facilitate access to
commonly used folders on NetWare volumes.

Creating a NetWare Server Object
1 Make sure the actual NetWare server is up and accessible on the network.
2 Right-click the container that you want to create the server object in >
click New > click Object.
3 Under Class, select NCP Server > click OK.
4 In Name, enter the actual name of the NetWare server that this object will
represent.
Example: SALES_SRV
5 If you want to assign additional property values as part of the creation
process for this server object, select Define Additional Properties.
For example, you might want to assign one or more users as server
operators.
6 Click OK.
ConsoleOne attempts to find the specified server on the network. If it fails
(for example, if you typed the name incorrectly), the Server object isn’t
created.
