Good afternoon. Please tell me what could be the problem?

The first server is configured to OD (master), the second added as a replica. Everything went well. Turn the server that is a replica, it works, user login, DNS fulfills. Then I check everything on the turn. Turn master, the replica is running. But here's the problem, users can not log, DNS works, DHCP, too ... What could be the problem that when the master OD is turned off, users can not log in?

Mac mini, OS X Server, null

Try rebooting the clients and if that doesn't work unbind / rebind them to the master while the replica is running. I forget exactly what's needed to get the information to 'take' but the client needs to learn from the master that there is a replica available.


By 'users can not login' I assume you mean the password is rejected. Obviously, if your network homes are on the master machine and you've unplugged it then your users are not going to be able to access them.
