I just moved my users and data from a G4 to a xServe G5. I archived my users and password database using Adriana’s “Migrating LDAP Users and Passwords to a Clean 10.4 Server” (https://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20050615173039158&query=clean%2B10.4%2Bserver) instructions. Since the move I have been unable to create new users with Open Directory passwords or change users’ Open Directory passwords. I get Error -14090 in both cases.
Also, diradmin does not have the rights it is supposed to have. In Workgroup Manager it appears to have rights to admin the directory domain but in fact can’t do things like reset passwords. All fields are greyed out when diradmin views other accounts in Workgroup Manager.
Applecare server support has suggested I export my users and groups, demote my server to standalone and promote it to OD Master again, re-importing my users and groups but having a new, default password file.
What I need to know is whether this invasive prodecure is preferable to re-importing the archive I still have from my old server. Do I risk any further damage going back to the old password file? The new server has the same name and IP address as the old one.
