Q: How to reset users and groups in Server.app?
Recently after change settings in the Server.app (like turn off/on open directory, delete/add certificates), I got a strange problem:
In the users and groups list, it display all local users and groups (looks like system users and groups, about 100 users and groups, but this is a new server)
I tried reset the server.app by following
howto reinstall/reinitialize os x server
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200271?viewlocale=en_US
These users and groups still showing there.
Have you seen this before and how can I completely reset the server.app to factory default so that I can start over the set up?
Mac mini, OS X Server

It sounds like you simply have enabled "Show System Accounts." To hide them, launch Server.app. Go to the View menu and choose "Hide System Accounts."
Do not try to delete or alter these accounts.
