I killed OD, trying to recover

[benjamind]

10.4.10 Server using OD and network user homes, 25-30 users.

Earlier today I used Server Admin to create an archive of the directory data. I made two of them just in case.

Downgraded to Standalone Server, then back to Open Directory Master.

Chose to restore from archive, chose the archive, the restore panel says “information restored.”

I go into WG Manager, attempt to switch to LDAPv3/(server.domain.here) and I get “error -140002”

After copying the openldap directory manually from the archive, I was able to restore (what appears to be) the full directory, but it is stuck in LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 and I’m not sure how to move it into the proper directory, which is the one that includes the domain of the server.

1. Is there a way to move these entries?

2. Is there a better way for me to restore from my archive? I tried using slapadd and the other Apple command line restore tool, but it doesn’t work well. Sometimes I get “Segmentation Error” which sounds bad.

3. Should I just reinstall OS X Server, would it be safe to assume I could import from this archive? Maybe it is corrupt.

Any assistance would be great.

Thanks,

Ben
