OpenDirectory Replica

Help!!! I have configured OpenDirectory Service sucessfully to bind to a Windows 2000 Server (AD DC) and setup LDAPv3 etc. When I select the option to run as OpenDirectory Replica and fill in the relevent details for the AD DC and select save I get an error back reporting that it cannot connect to the server using SSH.
Can anyone offer advice as I have trawled the internet and cannot find a solution?
Many thanks
 
Are you trying to get your Open Directory to replicate from Active Directory? If so, that's not going to work in this method. There are ways to dump out LDAP data from AD into OD, but the OD Replica mechanism isn't built for OD to replicate AD.

In AD-OD integrations, usually you have all of your users and groups in AD, then create an OD Master and bind that to AD, to supplement the AD schema with Mac OS X specific data. You then can create an Open Directory Replica of the Open Directory Master for availability purposes.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks for your reply.
I was attempting to get it to replicate the AD. I had previously set up as OD Master and decided that I would prefer a BDC on the network. I now see that this wont work.
In it's current config as a domain member 'Connected to a Directory System' it did bind sucessfully to the Domains AD and I have a list of the Users and Groups etc.
The only problem I have is the same problem I was getting with SFM. If a Mac client views a share on the Mac Server, all the files have lost their association to the original apps when they connect using AFP. The Windows clients connect OK using SMB and see the correct file types. When I try to use SMB on the Mac with the same accounts I get an error 'user name or password not recognised'.
Any Ideas?
On a Windows domain (W2K/W2k3) with mixed clients what would be the best OSX Server config?
1. Domain member - connected to a Directory System
2. Domain member - Open Directory Master

Many thanks
