Uninstalling eDirectory on NetWare

If necessary, you can remove eDirectoryTM from a NetWare® server.

IMPORTANT:  Removing eDirectory from a NetWare server makes the NetWare volumes and file system inaccessible.

Removing eDirectory also removes the roll-forward log directory and all the logs in it. If you want to be able to use the logs for restoring eDirectory on this server in the future, before removing eDirectory you must first copy the roll-forward logs to another location. For information about roll-forward logs, see "Using Roll-Forward Logs" in the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Administration Guide.

  1. At the server console, run NWCONFIG.

  2. Select Directory Options > Remove Directory Services from This Server.

  3. Follow the online instructions.
