After you have modeled your consolidation in the Project Window, you should verify that the proposed locations for these new objects do not conflict with existing names, rights, name spaces, etc., in the eDirectory tree.
Remember, dragged-and-dropped items appearing in the eDirectory tree are merely assigned to be copied to that area in the eDirectory tree. Objects will not actually be copied until you begin the consolidation process.
Because a similar verification process is run when you begin the actual NT migration, running the standalone verification process prior to migration is not mandatory; however, catching any critical errors or warnings now will speed up the verification process during the migration.
You must resolve all critical errors before you begin to actually migrate your migration project. Warnings can be resolved after the migration.
