Country
You can create Country objects directly under the Tree object using iManager. Country objects
are optional and required only for connection to certain X.500 global directories.
What a Country Object Represents
The Country object represents the political identity of its branch of the tree.
Usage
Most administrators do not create a Country object, even if the network spans countries, since the
Country object only adds an unnecessary level to the tree. You can create one or many Country
objects under the Tree object, depending on the multinational nature of your network. Country
objects can contain only Organization objects.
If you do not create a Country object and find that you need one later, you can always modify the
tree to add one.
Important Properties
The Country object has a two-letter Name property. Country objects are named with a standard two-
letter code such as US, UK, or DE.
Domain
You can create Domain objects directly under the Tree object using iManager. You can also
create them under Organization, Organization Unit, Country, and Location objects.
What a Domain Object Represents
The Domain object represent DNS domain components. Domain objects let you use your Domain
Name System location of services resource records (DNS SRV) to locate services in your tree.
Using Domain objects, a tree could look something like this:
DS=Novell.DC=Provo.DC=USA
In this example, all subcontainers are domains. You can also use Domain objects in a mixed tree,
such as:
DC=Novell.O=Provo.C=USA
Or
OU=Novell.DC=Provo.C=USA
Usually, the topmost Domain is the overall Tree, with subdomains under Tree. For example,
machine1.novell.com could be represented by DC=machine1.DC=novell.DC=com in a tree
representation. Domains give you a more generic way to set up an eDirectory tree. If all containers
and subcontainers are DC objects, users do not need to remember C, O, or OUs when searching for
objects.
Usage
NetWare 4 and 5 trees cannot have Domain objects at the top of the tree. With NetWare 4 and 5, the
NCP Server object can be placed in an Organization, Country, Organizational Unit, or Locality
