After you've determined the cause of eDirectory trouble and formulated an attack plan, it's time to select your weapons. eDirectory ships with a wide range of utilities, such as DSRepair, iManager, and DSTrace, which you can use to troubleshoot and fix your eDirectory tree. Also, there are a number of third-party tools that help fill the gap in areas that Novell-supplied utilities don't cover. You need to know the capabilities of these tools, however, and know when to use the one best suited for the task. This is discussed in more detail in Chapters 7, "Diagnostic and Repair Tools," and 8, "eDirectory Data Recovery Tools."
