Can not setup open directory due to host name In activing Open Directory on a new install of OS X, I am able to put in a diradmin name/password, and they I get the following dialog:


  This computer's host name is invalid.
  
  The host name does not resolve to any configured address of this computer.  Please ensure the host name is correct.


I have checked

scutil --get ComputerName
scutil --get HostName
scutil --get LocalHostName


Each has returned what I expected (the machine name...the domain we are on, and the LocalHostName which matches the ComputerName.

My goal is to restore a backup of a live OD server to this one along with passwords.
That "what I expected" part seems wrong. 

LocalHostName + &lt;your domain name&gt; should equal HostName


so, if HostName is myserver and your domain is sample.com than
LocalHostName should be "myserver" and HostName should be 
"myserver.sample.com".

In a terminal, 

dig `scutil --get HostName` 


should return the IP adress of your server.
