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.

• The latest updated Windows service pack needs to be installed after the installation of the SNMP service.
• If you are installing eDirectory 8.7 for Windows NT/2000 into an eDirectory tree that has NetWare^® and NT 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 Support Pack 2a or later.
  • NetWare 6

  Each Windows NT/2000 server must be running NDS eDirectory 8.0 or later.
