Abstract
Exemplary techniques are described for configuring a metadirectory system used to interact with a collection of connected directory sources via a respective collection of management agents. The techniques can involve importing new management agents to the metadirectory system, updating existing management agents, or configuring the entire metadirectory system (which can involve adding or updating plural management agents). Techniques are provided for ensuring that the configuration of the metadirectory system provides partitions which conform to expected partitions associated with existing management agents and/or connected directory sources.
