Abstract
A method and system for managing a distributed directory service. The method includes defining a plurality of objects operative to maintain information about a plurality of partitions in a MIB, implementing the MIB in an agent, loading the agent on a managed server, interfacing the agent with a directory service, and sending a management request from a management station to the agent to access one of the objects. The MIB maintains information about each partition on the managed server, and allows access to such information through conventional network management software.
