The Novell® eDirectoryTM Management Toolbox (eMBox) lets you access all of the eDirectory backend utilities remotely as well as on the server. eMBox works with Novell iManager to provide Web-based access to eDirectory utilities such as DSRepair and DSMerge. It also includes Web-based access to the new Backup and Restore and Service Manager functionalities.
All functions are accessible, either on the local server or remotely, through a command line client.
For all eDirectory Management Tools (eMTools)---such as Backup, DSRepair, DSMerge, Schema Operations, and eDirectory Service Manager---to run, eMBox must be loaded and running on the eDirectory server.
You can perform tasks for multiple servers from one server or workstation using the eMBox Client.
The eDirectory Maintenance role in iManager also has access to the eMTools.
