Because of the differences in individual needs, certain parameters of the installed Active Directory Server may be quite different from the typical install. It is for this purpose that the following legend was created.

Parameter	Value	Example
The fully qualified domain name of the server on which Active Directory is running	<ldap_host>	h350.uab.edu
The base DN for the Active Directory Server	<ldap_base>	DC=h350,DC=uab,DC=edu
The fully qualified path to the LDIF file that you are creating	<ldif_file>	c:\temp\h350.ldif
The fully qualified path to a temporary directory in Windows	<temp_dir>	C:\temp
