Reset Profile Manger 3.0.2 without reverting to MT Lion Version?

Hi All,

We've got a corrruption somewhere in our profile manager with one of our printers, and I'm trying to reset Profile Manager so I can rebuild everything. The /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB .sh command doesn't appear to work in Mavericks, it just reverts profile manager to what was there when the server was running mountain lion. Can anyone recommend a way to do a clean rebuild of profile manager without having to blow away the whole server?


Thanks!

MAC MINI SERVER (LATE 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), ios 6.0.1

So after a little digging I discovered that if you change the name or delete the Profile Manager folder inside /Library/Server and then drag the Server app to the trash and reinstall the server app, it will do a clean initialization of the profile manager without changing your other service data.


Thanks!

In my case, the reason I needed to reset the profile manager was in response to the permissions being altered.


The files stayed in the same location, and upon reinstalling server, the permissions were restored.


On boot, profile manager needed to be switched on.


In regard to settings for other services, most required switching on as well, but no settings appeared to change.


Hope this helps.
