1.2 Pre-Installation Checklist
This patch can only be applied to eDirectory 8.8
SP5. This patch assumes the server is using the
latest supported NetWare Operating System and
support packs as listed in the product
documentation.
- Run a health check on the tree to ensure that
there are no current problems with this or any
other server in the tree.
- Make a backup of the server's eDirectory database.
Among other methods this can be done by typing
" dsrepair -rc " at the server console.
- Make a backup of the NICI files. First unload
DS.NLM and backup all files and directories
within the SYS:\SYSTEM\NICI directory.

the server being patched. For example,
