To initiate the basic ndstrace functions, enter commands at the server prompt using the following<br />

the ON command option.<br />
11.6.2 Debugging Messages<br />
When the ndstrace screen is enabled, the information displayed is based on a default set of filters. If<br />
you want to view more or less than the default, you can manipulate the filters using the debugging<br />
message flags. The debugging messages help you determine the status of <strong>eDirectory</strong> and verify that<br />
everything is working well.<br />
