    hi there..

    i have successfully installed and configured a Mac Pro running 10.5 Server. Right now, it’s only jobs are DNS (replacing an old, cheap UNIX box we had) and Software Update Service.. both are running fine.

    we also have a 10.3 Server which is currently doing: AFP, Web, Mail, and running FileMaker Server 5.5 (yes, i know that’s old). This 10.3 Server is a ‘Standalone Open Directory’.

    i wanted to start getting Open Directory going on the new (10.5) server, but, as OD is an area in which i’m pretty green, i’m looking for advice. I don’t want to fire up OD on the 10.5 box and make a mess 🙂 Can someone clarify what the relationship is between my user accounts on the 10.3 ‘standalone’ box and a (possible) 10.5 ‘master’? Do i need to generate all the user accounts on the ‘master’ before i turn the 10.3 box into a slave? When the 10.3 becomes a slave, what happens to the user accounts on that machine.. do they just disappear?

    or should i just simply make the 10.5 box a standalone OD, recreate the (14) users and move the shared items over? Thoughts?

    thanks in advance.

    thanks for the reply.. good to know about 10.3 not being able to replicate a 10.5 Directory

    as far as the rest, i’ll be moving our AFP service from 10.3 > 10.5 next week, so there wont really much need to connect 10.3 to the 10.5 Directory.

    you have any guidance on moving mail (IMAP) from 10.3 > 10.5??

    thanks again
