Once you have located the network resources (objects) you want to manage, you can change their behavior by modifying their properties. You can also delete, move, and rename objects or create new ones as needed.
Right-click the container that you want to create the object in > click New > click Object.
There are restrictions on the types of objects you can create in different container types. For details, see the documentation for your particular task or application.
Under Class, select the type of object > click OK.
If you get a warning that no snap-in is available to create the object, complete the appropriate action from the table below, depending on your level of understanding of the object you are creating.
In Name, enter a name for the new object.
If it's an eDirectory object, be sure to follow proper naming conventions. See “ Naming Conventions” in the Novell eDirectory Administration Guide for details.
Specify any other information requested in the dialog box.
Click Help for details. (If you are using generic editors, no details are available.)
Click OK.
Right-click the object > click Properties.
Edit the property pages you want.
Click Help for details on specific properties. See Section 2.3, Editing Object Properties for general information on using property pages.
Click OK.
Select the objects using one of the following methods:
In the right pane, Shift+click or Ctrl+click multiple objects of the same type
Click a group or template object to modify its members
Click a container to modify the objects it contains
Click File > Properties of Multiple Objects.
If you selected a container in Step 1, in the dialog box double-click the object type that you want to modify; otherwise, skip this step.
On the Objects to Modify page, make sure only the objects that you want to modify are listed.
Add and delete objects as needed.
On the other property pages, specify the property values to set for all the selected objects.
Click Help for details on specific properties.
IMPORTANT:See Section 2.3, Editing Object Properties for differences in how property pages work when editing multiple objects.

In New Name, enter the new name.
If it's an eDirectory object, be sure to following proper naming conventions. See “ Naming Conventions” in the Novell eDirectory Administration Guide for details.

The old name is stored in the Other Name field of the object's General Identification property page.
Click OK.
In the right pane, Shift+click or Ctrl+click the objects to select them.
HINT:You can't move a container object unless it's a partition root. For details, see Section 7.1, Managing Partitions.
Right-click your selection > click Move.
Click the browse button next to the Destination field > select the container to move the objects to > click OK.
If you want to create an alias in the old location for each object being moved, select Create an Alias for All Objects Being Moved.
This allows any operations that are dependent on the old location to continue uninterrupted until you can update those operations to reflect the new location.
Click OK.
Shift+click or Ctrl+click the objects to select them.
You can’t delete a container object unless you first delete all its contents.
