25 For each replica of the old master, repeat steps 11–23.
26 Make sure the date, time, and time zone are correct on the replicas and the master.
The replicas and the master should use the same network time service so their clocks
remain in sync.
If other computers were connected to the old Open Directory master’s LDAP directory,
recongure their connections to use the new master’s LDAP directory.
Each Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server computer with a custom search policy that
included the old master’s LDAP directory must be recongured to connect to the new
master’s LDAP directory. Use the Services and Authentication panes of Directory Utility
(located in Accounts preferences).
For more information, see “Deleting a Conguration for Accessing an LDAP
Directory” on page 143, and “Conguring Access to an LDAP Directory” on page 13 5.
If DHCP service provided the old master’s LDAP URL to computers with automatic
search policies, recongure DHCP service to provide the new master’s LDAP URL.
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server computers with automatic search policies require no
reconguration. They get the correct LDAP URL from the updated DHCP service the
next time they start up.
For more information, see the DHCP chapter of Network Services Administration.
