4.1 Installation and Configuration Issues

This section contains the Domain Services for Windows installation and configuration issues.

4.1.1 Specifying an Admin Context with Spaces During Install Results in Failure

DSfW does not recognize spaces in the container name. If you have a container that has a name with spaces, specifying the context of this container during installation results in failure.

4.1.2 Admin Credentials Must Be Entered in eDirectory/LDAP Format

When you install DSfW in an existing eDirectory™ tree, you must enter the username for authentication in standard eDirectory/LDAP format and not DSfW (domain) format.

Novell plans to address this issue in a future OES release.

4.1.3 Installing DSfW in an Existing eDirectory Setup

If you are installing DSfW in an existing eDirectory setup, the installation overwrites the /etc/init.d/ndsd script.

We recommend that you back up the ndsd script before proceeding with the installation.

Novell plans to address this issue in a future OES release.
