Starting dsedit in Windows

StepsStarting dsedit from the command prompt

  1. Enter:

    Specify these command-line arguments:

    • -ddsname – specifies which directory service to connect to. dsname is the local name of the directory service, as listed in the libtcl.cfg file. If you do not specify -ddsname, dsedit presents a list of directory service options in the first dialog box.
