NDS for NT

Hughes and Thomas update their Four Principles of NDS Design and offer five essential design strategies for maximizing the efficiency and scalability of your NDS for NT tree:

1. Base your NDS tree design on your LAN or WAN infrastructure

2. Divide NDS into partitions and replicas

3. Use NDS objects to define organization, administration, and user access

4. Configure time synchronization to support NDS operations

5. Install and design NDS for NT

Preface

Chapter 1: Introduction to NDS for NT Design

First Step: The NDS Tree Should Represent the Network Infrastructure and Its Resources

Chapter 2: Design the Top of the Tree Based on the Network

Chapter 3: Design the Bottom of the Tree to Represent Network Resources

Second Step: Divide NDS into Partitions and Replicas, Which Provide Scalability and Fault Tolerance

Chapter 4: Divide NDS into Partitions to Scale NDS Across Network Servers

Chapter 5: Replicate for Fault Tolerance and to Reduce Synchronization Traffic

Third Step: Use NDS Objects to Establish the Organization, Administration, and User Access for NT and intraNetWare

Chapter 6: Use NDS Objects to Define Organization, Administration, and User Access

Chapter 7: Apply NDS Access Methods

Fourth Step: Configure Time Synchronization to Support NDS Operations

Chapter 8: Design and Configure Time Synchronization

Chapter 9: Manage Time Synchronization through SET Parameters

Fifth Step: Install and Design NDS for NT

Chapter 10: Install NDS for NT

Chapter 11: Design and Manage NDS for NT
