Command Window and PATH

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

Some of the commands described in the procedures in this section require the correct environment. To achieve this, use aVisual COBOL command prompt. This is available from Start > All Programs > Micro Focus Visual COBOL > Tools > Visual COBOL Command Prompt.

After opening the command prompt, use the following command to add the AD LDS installation directory to your path:

path %windir%\ad lds;%path%

The mfds and cas-to-ad commands need to be run from a system with Visual COBOL installed. The ldifde command can be run on the domain controller instead, if you find that more convenient.
