Q: User List Vanished Directories Still There

Hello Everyone Hoping I Can Find A Solution Here.

 

Using OSX Version: 10.10.5 (Build 14F1808)

Server Version: 5.0.15 (Build15S4033)

 

Installed on a Mac Mini Late 2014, 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5

 

Use: Using as a small server to use Profile Manager for Mobile Device Management (MDM) of company iPads purchased through Apples VPP Program. I know this is less then ideal, however the powers that be refuse to purchase a proper device for this and as it is it's more of just a place holder and does not hold any user data just profiles.

 

 

Problem: I was asked Wednesday to add a new iPad to the profile manager and my first step in doing this
is to create a user profile in OSX Server. When I came to add the profile I discovered that all my users and groups had disappeared. I checked the hard drive and discover all the user files/folders will still on the hard drive but did not show up on the User List In Server. I have done a search on the web and noticed similar issues but they are all 2-3 years old. I'm hoping someone here can shed some more light on the subject and help me get the user list back.

 

I'm afraid to add any new users into the list for fear of it happening again, I would have restored from a backup but it turns out the network admin did not feel the need to include this device in the weekly backups. I've made a very a very strong case as to why this is needed, and before I spend several hours attemping to restore manually I was hoping someone here might have some insight on some items to try.

 

Thanks in advance.

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
