Groups not showing up

[TheBearAk]

I looked around and with all the common words in the search it is very difficult to narrow this down.

I just moved a server from a G5 tower to an Xserver. In the process I decided to install a fresh OS X Server on the Xserver (10.5.8) and simply export settings, users and groups from the old server to the new.

The reason for that decision was because I was having a problem converting to Open Directory passwords vs Shadow.

Anyway, almost everything went fine and it is back in operating condition, however, when I look at WorkGroup Manager, none of the groups are showing up. They are there, as I cannot create any with the same name as the old ones. And they do show up when I’m in Server Admin and, for example, show the groups in mailing list window.

I suppose I could use CLI and just delete the groups and add them back in, but I’d like to know if there is another solution.

if you go into dscl interactive mode do they show up?

[code]
sudo dscl (this will put you in interactive mode)

cd /LDAPv3/mycompany.com/Groups

ls
[/code]

You should see a listing of all groups.
