11.11 What’s Next

Your getting-started lab is now set up and ready to use for building your experience with OES 2.

The exercises in this guide have highlighted only a few major points and features. There are numerous additional things worth exploration.

After you complete the exercises in this guide, we recommend that you do the following:

  1. Think about the needs of your organization and how the various OES 2 product components can help you address those needs.

  2. Think about your network users and their file and print service needs. Match them against the different user types created in this guide. Then take the opportunity to do some hands-on exploring of the access capabilities and limitations for the matching users. For example, set up and experiment with the privacy and collaboration capabilities for each user through both NCP and POSIX.

  3. Begin planning your organization’s eDirectory tree and the rollout of OES 2 services to your organization.

As you plan for, work with, and install OES 2, be sure to consult the other OES 2 product documentation mentioned in If You Want to Use This Guide as a Reference.
