Question

You're designing your organization's eDirectory tree. You want to create Country objects at the top of your tree for each country where your organization has an office. Each of these offices has a regional network administrator. You decide to create an object named Admin in each respective Country object for each regional administrator. Will this tree design work?

Options

  • AYes, all eDirectory rules have been observed.
  • BNo, eDirectory object names must be unique within the tree.
  • CNo, user objects can't reside in Country container objects.
  • DNo, eDirectory must be managed centrally. You shouldn't use distributed administrators.
  • ENo, the name of Admin is reserved for the user object that's created during the first server install.
  • FNo, eDirectory requires that trees be designed by departmental organization, not by geographic region.

Why each option

In eDirectory, Country container objects can only contain Organization objects, not leaf objects like User objects, making this tree design invalid.

AYes, all eDirectory rules have been observed.

Not all eDirectory rules are observed because the schema prohibits placing User leaf objects directly inside Country container objects.

BNo, eDirectory object names must be unique within the tree.

eDirectory names only need to be unique within the same container, not across the entire tree, so having multiple objects named Admin in different Country containers is permitted.

CNo, user objects can't reside in Country container objects.Correct

eDirectory enforces a strict container hierarchy: Country (C) objects can only contain Organization (O) objects, and leaf objects such as User objects must reside at the Organization or Organizational Unit level. Placing a User object named Admin directly inside a Country container violates this schema rule and is not permitted by the eDirectory object class definitions.

DNo, eDirectory must be managed centrally. You shouldn't use distributed administrators.

eDirectory fully supports distributed administration with administrators in different containers, so this is not a valid reason to reject the design.

ENo, the name of Admin is reserved for the user object that's created during the first server install.

The name 'Admin' is not reserved in eDirectory; any valid string can be used as a User object name.

FNo, eDirectory requires that trees be designed by departmental organization, not by geographic region.

eDirectory trees can be organized geographically, departmentally, or by any structure that fits the organization - there is no requirement to use only departmental design.
