Server cannot access my AEBS

After upgrading from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server, my AirPort Extreme Base Station (dual band) is showing up under "HARDWARE" in my Server.app, but when I click on the AEBS, I get an error message:

An error occurred on the server while processing a command.

The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getIGDPortmaps' in plug-in 'servermgr_network'.

I've tried resetting my router and restarting my server to no avail. Any idea how to force Mt Lion Server to access my AEBS afresh?

Mac mini, OS X Server

5 steps also resolved the issue for me. Thank you!

This 5 steps procedure resolved the access to the AEBS, but when you change port settings it will not write them. So... at least in my setup the server.app cannot control the AEBS with this procedure yet.

thanks anyway.

I tried it again and it worked. The secret is to find ALL the entrances in your keychain to be deleted.

I think the first time around I overlooked some. Thanks for the tip.

restoreAirportSettings in /Library/Server/.UninstallExtras/ worked for me too, after the 5 steps were insufficient.

After following the 5 Steps the issue came back days later. Decided to start fresh. Did a clean install of ML and reset AE to factory settings. It's been working fine for 2 weeks now.

Side note: found great Server (Lion & some ML) tutorials by Todd Olthoff on YouTube. Geared towards the novice setting up a family home server.
