You will need to identify personnel who can do the following:
Maintain the focus and schedule of the eDirectory design
Understand eDirectory design, design standards, and security
Understand and maintain the physical network structure
Manage the internetwork backbone, telecommunications, WAN design, and router

2.1.3 Preparing for eDirectory Design
Before you actually create the eDirectory design, you should
Set realistic expectations concerning scope and schedule.
Notify all users who will be affected by the design of your implementation of eDirectory.
Review the information in
“Network Layout” on page 73
and
“Organizational Structure” on
page 73
.
2.2 Designing the eDirectory Tree
Designing the eDirectory tree is the most important procedure in the design and implementation of a
network. The design consists of the following tasks:
“Creating a Naming Standards Document” on page 74
“Designing the Upper Layers of the Tree” on page 77
“Designing the Lower Layers of the Tree” on page 79
2.2.1 Creating a Naming Standards Document
Using standard names such as object names makes your network more intuitive to both users and
administrators. Written standards can also specify how administrators set other property values, such
as telephone numbers and addresses.
Searching and browsing the directory rely greatly on the consistency of naming or property values.
The use of standard names also makes it easier for Novell Nsure Identity Manager to move data
between eDirectory and other applications. For more information on Novell Nsure Identity
Manager, see the
