I have a C2D Mac running OS X Server 10.5.2. I just turned on Open
Directory so I can use some of the services that require it. I've
been trying to create some accounts using Workgroup Manager, and I
can create the accounts, but I cannot create the accounts' home
directories. Every time I try, I get a sheet saying that "the home
directory could not be created because an error occurred."
That's not much to go on. Nothing is logged in the console on the
server side.
I took all of the steps mentioned in that message. Yes, the DNS is
correctly configured for the host. No, it's still not working.
What's going on? How do I fix this?
Heya Nick,
any chance to try createhomdir command from Terminal? Hopefully it
could provide more descriptive error. I would also check hostname
using changeip
