I’ve looked at logs and am glad to post the output of anything relevant if required, but I’m not sure which logs to start with. Once of the two users did actually add without that error, but when I tried to log in with that user, the client gave me the rainbow wheel and any other client was also unable to login giving the error “unable to login at this time because of a problem.” I reboot the server and I can login again with the existing users, but once I try logging in with the recently added/incomplete user, the same problem occours again (rainbow wheel, existing users can’t login, must reboot.) I’ve googled it. The users apparently add but are not set up correctly because once the error goes away, I’m able to click cancel in the user add window and the user shows up but with the message “not active/valid” or something to that effect beside them. This week, I tried to add 2 new users and get the error “ Operation is not supported by the directory node” with no other error indicators. I have 25 clients running Lion (on mac mini – 2011) if that’s relevant.
A couple of weeks ago I added a couple of users to my Mountain Lion Server (2011 mac mini server – 10.8.2).
