Capability

Enhancement

Section 2.1, Browsing and Finding Objects

If a tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is configured for DNS federation, you can access contexts in that tree whether or not you are logged in to it. This enables you to make rights and membership assignments across trees.

Section 3.1, Creating User Accounts

You can now create rights assignments and volume space restrictions for new users through a template.

Section 6.2, Defining and Using Auxiliary Classes

You can now extend individual eDirectory objects with the properties defined in auxiliary classes. Previously, only applications could do this.

Section 8.1, Viewing and Modifying Server and File System Information

You can now modify the properties of multiple files, folders, or volumes simultaneously. You can also launch NetWare Management Portal from the server object.

Section 2.3, Editing Object Properties

You can now customize the property pages for each type of object by reordering, hiding, or showing individual pages. Your customizations are saved across ConsoleOne sessions.

Section 1.5, Installing and Starting ConsoleOne

You can now install and run ConsoleOne on Linux*, Solaris*, and Tru64* computers in addition to Windows and NetWare.
