If this <strong>eDirectory</strong> server holds the only replica of the partition, complete the following steps:<br />
1 Run the sammig.exe utility in the system directory (usually c:\winnt\system32) on the NT<br />
Server or from the Start menu (Start > Programs > Administrative Tools (Common) ><br />
Migration Tool for NetWare).<br />
2 Select Uninstall NDS on Windows and revert to the previous Windows domain state.<br />
3 Continue with the Uninstall until it has completed.<br />
4 Restart the Migration Tool for NetWare and proceed to install <strong>eDirectory</strong> on Windows.<br />
5 Move the User objects from the NT/2000 domain to the <strong>eDirectory</strong> tree.<br />
13.3 Restoring <strong>eDirectory</strong> on Windows after an<br />
Emergency Repair<br />
When you are forced to do an emergency repair on a Windows server and there is no Emergency<br />
Repair disk, or the Emergency Repair disk was created before an <strong>eDirectory</strong> installation, the<br />
<strong>eDirectory</strong> client is removed and Registry settings are deleted. The nds4nter.exe utility both restores<br />
the necessary Registry settings and reloads <strong>eDirectory</strong> files.<br />
Run nds4nter.exe from the \i386\goodies directory.<br />
After an emergency repair is performed, run the Emergency Repair utility from the CD. The utility<br />
will first restore some of the Registry settings, then it will launch the <strong>eDirectory</strong> installation. The<br />
installation will copy the files then you must select the reboot option. After rebooting, users will<br />
have access to the migrated domains.<br />
