    I’m confused. In the same manual they tell you to use changeip to modify other records so what gives?

    Thank you SO much for posting your solution to this issue! As I read through the thread I figured it would be yet another case where multiple people have the exact same problem I do and then once they find a solution they don’t post back to the original thread with the answer. Remember folks, do what Jpbuse did and share your solution. It’s good karma. 😀

    Sweet. Thank you so much. I was trying to figure out exactly how this works so I looked a the xargs man page and the following passage makes my head want to explode. This make sense to people?

    -I replstr
    Execute utility for each input line, replacing one or more
    occurences of replstr in up to replacements (or 5 if no -R flag
    is specified) arguments to utility with the entire line of input. Eek!

    I take it they assume you know what the hell replstr means since it’s not really explained at all in the man page and I also don’t quite understand the “in up to replacements” line either. Oh well, it works.

    I actually had to change your command just a bit. Here’s what worked in case anyone else is interested.

    dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users | xargs -I % dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -read /Users/% RealName UniqueID

    Thanks again!

    [quote:d1d031c2d3=”MacTroll”]Run OD Assistant again and set your server not to use a password server.

    Delete everything in /Library/ApplePasswordServer.

    You should also try moving anything in the /var/db/authserver directory.

    Then try re-running ODA again to see if it sticks this time.

    Joel[/quote:d1d031c2d3] I tried all of the above but I still can’t get an admin user set up to use a password server. I also tried to use sudo mkpassdb -a -u admin -p mypassword but that didn’t work either.
