10.10.4 Server Update 'Preparing services - ServerSupport' Error

Hi ,


I just updated my server to 10.10.4 and updated to the newest version of Server. During the upgrade process for the server I received the following error:


'Preparing services - ServerSupport' Error Domain:restoreServerBackup.sh Item:/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/restoreServerBack up.sh Code:3


And now Open Directory shows that it's always off (though users and groups and logins work as expected), and Profile Manager fails to update device information or allow device enrollment.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Thankfully I had a carbon copy backup the system so I reverted to 10.10.3 and then reupgraded to 10.10.4. Before updating to server 4.1.3 again I made sure to shut off profile manager and open directory, and the upgrade seemed to take without issue this time.
