Running the Normalize Exchange Associations Utility

If you are upgrading from the DirXML® Driver 1.0 for Exchange, you need to run the Normalize Exchange Associations utility. This utility searches the eDirectory tree and normalizes the DirXML Driver for Exchange associations.

NOTE:  If you are upgrading from the 1.0a patch or later, you don't need to run the Normalize Exchange Associations utility.

  1. Get the changeAssocKey.zip file from Novell Support.

  2. Create a temporary directory on the NT server where the DirXML Driver for Exchange is installed.

  3. Expand changeAssocKey.zip into the directory.

  4. Open the run.bat file and edit the file with these parameters:

    Parameter Value

    Java

    Driver letter and path for Java*. For example, enter C:\Novell\consoleone\1.2\jre\bin\java or D:\Novell\NDS\jre\bin\java

    LDAP address:port

    The IP address and port number of the eDirectory server. Normally, this is localhost:389.

    LDAP Bind ID

    The LDAP authentication ID.

    LDAP Bind Password

    The LDAP authentication password.

    Driver Name

    The name of the Driver object. For example, ExchangeDriver.

    Action

    Specify one of these desired actions:

    • 1- Lists eDirectory objects with no association to the driver specified above.
    • 2- Lists eDirectory objects with an incomplete association to the driver specified above.
    • 3- Lists eDirectory objects with associations to be normalized.
    • 4- Modifies the associations in eDirectory and lists the objects.

    NOTE:  We recommend that you first set the action to 3 so you can see what associations will change when you set the action to 4. Then, you can set the action to 4 and run the program again. You don't cause any problems by running the program more than once. If you are concerned about the current state of the associations, you can run the utility with the action set to 1 or 2.

  5. Run the run.bat file.
