You’ve followed all the best practices and documentation. Your eDirectory trees are healthy and replicating with no errors. Time is in synchronization and ndsrepair shows no errors or external references hanging out there.
So, what do you do when eDirectory gets a request to remove 20,000 members from a group and replicates the change to all of the replicas?

ocw.novell.com and NovellLearning on YouTube
Last summer, I had a DIY project I didn't know how to do. I had an 18" square hole in my roof that I knew needed to be fixed. I'm not a confident DIY guy, but I am very comfortable trying to get answers to questions from the web. I think it's safe to say that this is a non-traditional way to go about fixing a roof, but I didn't even give it second thought. Just sat down and began to search, fully expecting to find information (hopefully with pictures) that would guide me through the process.
For my post today, I wanted to talk about two non-traditional ways we're publishing some learning content from Novell.

Cloud Computing is No Threat to IT Jobs
There is a growing belief that cloud computing will lead to IT job losses, but there is no reason it has to. In fact, like many historical IT changes, it might require new skills, but not necessarily fewer bodies.
