Your Lab's eDirectory Tree
If you want an efficient and intuitive eDirectory design, you and your organization will need to base it on
You and your team should carefully think through the issues and design considerations discussed in "Designing Your Novell eDirectory Network" in the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Administration Guide.
Figure 1 illustrates an eDirectory tree like the one you will use in the lab exercises found in this guide. It also illustrates and explains the basic elements you should consider when designing an eDirectory tree.
NOTE: The IS Organizational Unit object is included for explanation purposes and is not created in this guide.

The eDirectory tree you have created by installing NNLS in your lab is illustrated and explained in Figure 2. The objects that are grayed out are for explanation purposes and do not exist in your current tree. When you finish with this guide, your tree will look more like Figure 1.

Your Current Lab Tree
The instructions in this guide cover only the installation of a single NNLS server in the tree.
If you were to decide to install additional servers in the tree, the processes you would follow could involve some preparatory tasks as illustrated in Figure 3.
As mentioned, the installation of additional servers is not covered in this lab guide. For more information, see "Running install.sh after Initial Installation" in the Novell Nterprise Linux Services Installation Guide.
