I need to install a netware 6 server into a netware 5 NDS tree. Has anyone done this? Is there any problems doing this? What are the steps that i need to follow?

I guess my first question would be why not just upgrade the netware 5 box (s)? The main issue that you need to address is e directory. You can run the Netware Deployment manager located at the root of the Netware 6 cd to guide you through the e dirprocess. The 1st TID is also a great reference to e dir and the 2nd is the Netware 6 documentation. edir 8.6 is installed by default when you install 6 so you will need to do the following before installing 6 into your tree. apply latest service packs, update eDir Schema, configure certificate server and perform eDir health check. Overall the process isn't too bad. I have done it 4 or 5 times with little to no problems LOL

Need to know what versions of NDS you are running on your netware 5.1 servers and service packs.

For EDIR 85.XX you need the below.

EDIR 8.30
NW51sp6
