I tried to upgrade one server from 10.3.9 to 10.4 and basically it
didn't work at all.
1. I got an error message about Kerberos. From what I could
ascertain, I didn't have any Kerberos records and I couldn't find a
way to make any. I know this is a big topic, but what happened to the
database? No user was in it any more.
2. Clients could log-in, but had no home folders. When I checked out
the shares, it didn't appear to have a network mount record and I
couldn't make one. I just couldn't authenticate to change it.
I'm sorry if the following is off topic, but I really need to tell
someone! The previous day I struggled with the serial number of
another copy of 10.4 on a brand new xserve for an hour, before I rang
Apple to be told that some servers shipped with software with bad
serial numbers. After a 20 minute wait on hold, I was told that 'the
guy who hands out the serial numbers isn't around' Not such a happy
start to Tiger for me.
