ABSTRACT:

NDS allows a file system stream to be associated with an attribute of an object that has the stream syntax. Just because NDS schema says that an object attribute of type stream is allowed, until a stream is associated with the attribute, the stream is not defined or accessible. Streams are used for login scripts commonly, but can be used to store photographs, bmp's, and other information and NDS replicates the information essentially creating a distributed file system. This sample code demonstrates how to do this.
