Novell Doc: OES 2 SP3: Domain Services for Windows Administration Guide

8.1 Verifying the Installation

Perform these tasks to verify that eDirectory and DSfW have been installed and configured correctly.

NOTE:After you have installed a child domain or an subsequent domain controller, the DNS server running at forest root domain (or the DNS server you are pointing to in /etc/resolv.conf file) must be restarted. Execute the following command on the server hosting the Novell DNS service:

rcnovell-named restart

Check the /etc/hosts file to ensure that it contains only one entry with this server’s primary IP address. For example:

192.168.1.1 oesdc.dsfw.com oesdc
Check the /etc/resolv.conf file to ensure that it contains a name server and domain search entry for server on which DNS is hosted. For example:
```
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search dsfw.com
```

Verify that eDirectory has been properly configured by using the following command:

/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndsstat -h localhost

This command returns information similar to the following:

Tree Name: DSFW_TREE

Server Name:.CN=OESDC.OU=OESSystemObjects.dc=dsfw.dc=com.T=DSFW_TREE

Binary Version: 20217.06

Root Most Entry Depth: 0

Product Version: eDirectory for Linux v8.8 SP5 [DS]

Execute xadcntrl validate at the terminal prompt.

If the services are configured correctly, the result of the command will be similar to the following output:

Tree Name: DSFW-TREE
Server Name: .CN=testfrd.OU=OESSystemObjects.dc=dsfw.dc=com.T=DSFW-TREE.
Binary Version: 20501.00
Root Most Entry Depth: 0
Product Version: eDirectory for Linux v8.8 SP5 [DS]
