The Rename Entry dialog is used to rename an entry. In detail the relative distinguished name (RDN) is modified by sending a modrdn operation to the directory.
To start the Rename Entry dialog select the entry you want to rename, then choose Rename... from context menu or press F2.
Note 1: Some directories don't support renaming whole trees but only renaming of leaf entries. In that case you are ask if you want to simulate the rename operation, this is done by copying the whole tree and deleting the old tree afterwards.
Note 2: It is not possible to rename the Root DSE.
