This chapter examines a number of different tools used to manage NDS/eDirectory and looks at how to use these tools to better manage your tree. By having a good understanding of the use of Novell-supplied tools such as NetWare Administrator, ConsoleOne, NList, UImport, iManager, NDS iMonitor, and ICE, as well as third-party administration tools, it is easy to prevent many problems from occurring and manage your trees much more easily. Some of the ways in which you can use these tools more effectively are presented in Chapter 14.
Chapter 13, "eDirectory Health Checks," takes an in-depth look at eDirectory health check procedures.
