This command does the set up necessary for the use of the Console to manage
the Directory Server instances you are registering.

Use this command with the \fB\-\-update\fR option after an upgrade to refresh the server information (version, build number, etc.) in the Console.

Can be run in interactive mode with different levels of verbosity, or
in silent mode with parameters supplied in a .inf format file or
on the command line.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
