OD and 10.3.9 to 10.4 upgrade question

[AaronAdams]

Today I performed an in-place upgrade of my server from 10.3.9 to 10.4. For the most part, things are running smoothly, but in the overview tab for the machine in Server Admin I have this message with the little yellow triangle:

“This server contains new or upgraded services that need to be configured to use single sign-on Kerberos authentication. Services that already use Kerberos on this server will not be affected. Select Open Directory in the Computers & Services list, then click Settings.”

Ok, fine. I click OD and then settings. Nothing appears to be out of place. OD overview shows:

Lookup server is: Running
Netinfo server is: Local only
LDAP server is: Running
Password server is: Running
Kerberos is: Running

There’s no Kerberize button in the General tab of Settings. So what is this message trying to tell me? How do I know what upgraded services need to be configured? How do I configure them? A much less nebulous message from Server Admin would be a big help.

Thanks for the info. I found a thread on the Apple support discussion board about this. Archiving OD, changing the server to a standalone, changing it back to an OD master, and restoring from the archive also solves the problem.

I think Apple really needs a more descriptive error message here.
