[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1294355, member: 11094"] Bummer,...Your OD is broken. The problem is you have no idea when it broke I assume. Therefore a restore is pretty much out of the question. That is unless you have a separate OD backup? Most likely you will have to export the user and group lists from WM and recreate OD. The export will not contain password info so you'll have to enter new passwords for all users. I only suggest the export because importing is better than manual creation of your user list. This has most likely been caused by improper DNS. Most folks that I have worked with setup their servers thinking they are like AD and next thing you know OD is broken and they don't know why. DNS is almost always the reason. I was informed by Apple Support there is really no way to resolve this other than recreating OD. Sorry,.... [/QUOTE]
