how does Apple expect us to implement this in a real world enterprise environment?



Hate to be a Debby Downer, but I've been working with Profile Manager since it came out last year and I've never found a workaround to this problem that didn't involve wiping and rebuilding Open Directory from scratch.


This seems to be caused by mismatched certificates, but that's as far as I've ever gotten. I spent about 2 weeks with a virtual machine trying to figure out how to recover from this problem w/o wiping Open Directory but never found a solution.
