Please note at what patch release level the server to be upgraded should ALREADY be running.
Server Requirements:
The server MUST be running eDirectory 8.8 Support Pack 4.
The DS.NLM version should be 20217.06. This can be verified by typing " m ds " at the server console.

2. Make a backup of the server's eDirectory dib and nici files. Among other methods this can be done by typing " dsrepair
-rc " at the server console. To backup the NICI files unload the DS.NLM and backup the SYS:\SYSTEM\NICI files
directory.
Installation:
1. Backup the existing files shown below.
2. Copy the new modules to the indicated directory. Note that the files are in their named directory's within the patch.
3. Perform a " RESET SERVER " at the server console.
