I’m trying to help a client add a second Xserve (for AFP/SMB file sharing, among other things) to their network.

Original Xserve is a PPC machine running 10.4.10 and primarily being used as a mail server. It’s running as a standalone server (i.e. all user accounts are NetInfo).

New Xserve is an Intel machine also running 10.4.10.

I set up the original server as an Open Directory master, the new one as a Replica, and attempted to migrate the original server via Server Admin (as described here):

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c5od22.html

Only issue is, the “Migrate” button is not enabled/the status shows that NetInfo is Stopped (yet mail continues to work on the original server). Thoughts on how to make this happen?

Obviously weird things would likely happen if I re-created new OD users with the same usernames as the existing mail users… more likely I’d abandon OD and just use the new server as a Standalone and recreate all of the accounts, but that’d be a pain…

Looking for thoughts/ideas/suggestions….
