    I am aware of being able to use an OS installation DVD for resetting admin passwords, when booting from that DVD. When doing this with the Leopard Server installation DVD does this extend to the local administrator only, or does this work with the Open Directory administrator user ID, as well?

    The suggestion I was given [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1295797&tstart=0]elsewhere[/url] was to demote my Open Directory server to “standalone” and then to re-promote it to Open Directory Master. This meant that I had to rebuild my (small) Open Directory user database. I also then demoted the SMB service to providing only a standalone server, before re-promoting it to Primary Domain Controller. I then had to re-share my user home folder share and include the proper afp URL in the user’s OD records. All is working now.

    I needed to change the OD admin’s password, because it had changed itself between releasing a PC from it’s Mac OS X Leopard Server hosted Windows domain and attempting to rejoin it.
