profile manager settings device management disabled error when enabling

Question

profile manager settings device management disabled error when enabling

Hello,

I have installed OS-X Lion on a mac mini. Everything is working fine, including open ldap as a master where other imac can connect and use this ldap server for login.

However in profile management i try in the settings section to enable management of devices. When the wizard starts it asks me to enter the password for diradmin as this server needs a master ldap (is already there).

The wizard then mentions that this computer already has a master ldap server and i cannot continue installing device management in profile manager.

Probably because of this I cannot see devices in the profile manager portal.

Does anyone have a solution to solve this issue.

Thanks

I would try demoting your Open Directory server from Master to Standalone in the Server Admin app - there's an assistant in Server Admin > Open Directory > Settings > General > click the change button.

Once it's demoted to a standalone, restart.

From there, don't create an OD Master again - go to Profile Manager in Server.app and run through the wizard again. In the process, it will create an OD Master for you.

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hi Chriss,

Seems to be working fine. Indeed recreating the OD Server in the server admin app doesn't work, it will make proflle manager stop configuring.

Thanks

I have the same problem and a quiestion to your suggestion.

When changing the Server in Server-Admin to a Standalone and recreating a Open Directory Master in Server.app will it keep the Networkusers, - goups and so?

Or do I have to reconfigure everything?

Could I archive the directory database and import it after setting up a master via Server.app?
