Create Open Directory
Good afternoon, I would create an Open Directory in the company where I work, my question is if the Mac mini Server stand make this work and how many user could manage it.

'A' Mac Mini? no.
For sure, 'a' server can run Open Directory, with hundreds, or even thousands of user records - directory services are generally quite lightweight, but you don't want to run any critical service on a single server. You'll at least need a replica to handle the times your primary server is offline (whether intentional or not).
Beyond that, though, you haven't given enough detail of what else your server might be running to properly answer your question.

Thanks for the reply!
In fact we already have many of the things structured, and our directory OD will connect to the AD directory. But by what I said, the Mac mini server will answer my request.
