PRE INSTALLATION NOTES:
This patch can only be applied to eDirectory 8.8 SP3.
This patch assumes the server is using the latest supported Operating Systems and support packs as listed in the product documentation.
This FTF is designated eDirectory 8.8.3 FTF3. This FTF carries the designation of FTF2 because a previous fix for auditing only, the eDirectory 8.8 SP3 Instrumentation Patch, was released earlier and was named FTF1. FTF3 does not contain the Instrumentation Patch fix.
If the Instrumentation fix is required, FTF1 can be found at: http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=RH_B5b3M6EQ~

WINDOWS INSTALLATION GUIDE:
This is a manual installation.
Below are the files for the Windows platform contained in this release as well as the locations where they should be placed. The directory structure indicates their destination.
Server Requirements:
Server MUST already be running eDirectory 8.8 Support Pack 3.
Pre-Installation checklist:
1. Run a health check on the tree to make sure there are no current problems with this or any other server in the tree.
2. Make a backup of the server's eDirectory dib and NICI files. Among other methods this can be done by stopping the eDirectory service and backing up the dib directory to backup the eDirectory database. (Default Location: c:\novell\nds\dibfiles).
To backup the NICI files it is best to use a SMS tape backup whose software runs as SYSTEM.
More information can be found at:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/nici27x/nici_admin_guide/index.html?page=/documentation/nici27x/nici_admin_guide/data/bwf6d4c.html
3. Ensure this server has eDirectory 8.8 Support Pack 3 installed.
Installation:
1. Stop NDS services.
Go to the NDS Console and select SHUTDOWN if the service is currently running. Otherwise it will be greyed out.
To ensure eDirectory services are not running look to see if DHOST is still running in TaskManager.
2. Backup the existing files shown below and ensure the eDirectory service has not been been restarted.
3. Copy the new modules to the indicated directories.
4. Restart the eDirectory service by selecting STARTUP in the NDS Console and verifying DS.DLM is running in the
NDScons utility. Selecting DS.DLM - Configuration - should indicate DS.DLM has a build version of 20216.89.
