Rename (Container Object)

New Name
Enter a new name for the container. Names for most container types can be up to 64 characters long, but for a locality the name can be up to 128 characters and for a country the name must be the two-letter ISO country code. Regardless of the container type, you should follow eDirectoryTM object naming conventions.

Save Old Name
Specifies whether to save the old name as an additional (unofficial) value of the Name property. Saving the old name enables users to search for the container based on that name. After renaming the container, you can view the old name on the Identifcation property page in the Other Name field.

Create Alias in Place of Renamed Container
Specifies whether to create an alias for the container under the old name, so that any users in the container can still log in after the rename operation. Once the Name Context setting is updated on each user's workstation to reflect the new container name, you can delete the alias.
