This field specifies how the "name" field in the export file node registration information is used. The node registration information contained in the export file includes each node's terminating name. This is generally the part of the name that is the same regardless of the directory service. For example, "MailHub" is the terminating name for the following: Local: MailHub DECdns: MyCo:.Sales.MailHub To convert a terminating name to a fully specified name for the target directory service, it is combined with the name template. The name template is a string that indicates what the fully specified name is to look like, with an asterisk (*) where the terminating name goes. For example: Local: * DECdns: MyCo:.Sales.* If left blank, the name template defined in the export file for the target directory service is used. If the export file does not contain a valid name template for the target directory service, errors result. See the MAIN_MENU EXPORT_FILE topic for descriptions of the name template control line and the node registration information lines.
