Management Toolbox (eMBox) lets you access all of the eDirectory
backend utilities remotely as well as on the server.
eMBox works with Novell iManager to provide Web-based access to eDirectory utilities such as
DSRepair, DSMerge, Backup and Restore, and Service Manager.
IMPORTANT: For all the users including the administrator, Role Based Services must be
configured through iManager to the tree that is to be administered for eMBox tasks to be run.
Role Based Services must be configured for the following eMBox tasks that are under eDirectory
maintenance menu in the iManager:
Š
Backup Configuration
Š
Graft Tree
Š
Repair eDirectory
Š
Repair Server
Š
Repair Sync
Š
Replica Repair
Š
Replica Ring Repair
Š
Restore
Š
Schema Maintenance
Š
Service Manager
Š
Merge Tree
Š
Rename Tree
All functions are accessible, either on the local server or remotely, through a command line client.
You can perform tasks for multiple servers from one server or workstation using the eMBox Client.
For all eDirectory Management Tools (eMTools)—such as Backup, DSRepair, DSMerge, Schema
Operations, and eDirectory Service Manager—to run, eMBox must be loaded and running on the
eDirectory server.
