Q: Error when trying to add and edit users in Server 4.0

I am having a strange problem with my OS X Server 4.0 Users section. I try to add a local network user but it automatically adds as a local user. Also, when I try to edit the User account (add to a group), I get the error, "The operation could not be completed. com.apple.Server.Accounts Error 2." Can anyone help and tell me what this means? As well, I can not edit any of my local network users, as I get greyed out buttons everywhere. I am definitely logged in as an administrator and I'm pretty sure my DNS records are accurate.

 

 

Edit- Fixed! Turns out I had 2 users using the same Full Name, one as a local user (admin) and one that is a local network user. I ended up using the local network user one!

    Sorry I don't have an answer, but I have the same problem.

     

    I thought it might be because I'm connected to an Active Directory, but the problem seems more fundamental.

    I was getting this same error after upgrading to Server 4, verified DNS and ran through a number of other diagnostics to try and pin it down. The tip in this discussion about authenticating as the directory administrator cleared up the issue and I can now create local network users again. The answer was actually provided by NDchemE, who posted above. Hope this helps.

    You can be the Server Admin to do almost everything on the Server, but to make changes to network Users, you need to be logged in as the [LDAP]Directory Admin, "DirAdmin" by default, but you can specify whatever name you like when you set up the Open Directory LDAP Database.

     

    Almost everything about Network users is stored in an Open Directory LDAP Database.
