As I suspected, THIS IS THE PROBLEM!

I just rpm -e''d fedora 1.0.4-1, rm -fr''d the /opt/fedora-ds
directory,
and then reinstalled saying "No" to whether I had another DS and if
there was another DS with configuration information. The Admin server
configured and started up automatically!

So, now we know 1.0.4-1''s Admin setup is strongly adverse to using my
7.1 for config.

There is no crowd at my door, so, yes. :)

I am going to re-run it again and say "No" to the first other-DS
question and "Yes" to using it as a Config server and see what
happens.

Thanks,
-Ken.

I just tried the following, using VMs:
1) install fedora ds 7.1 on rhel4 - use itself for config information
2) in another machine, install 1.0.4 on rhel4 - use 1) for the config 
information

If I chose Typical setup mode, the install failed because Typical mode 
doesn''t allow you to specify the AdminDomain.  If I chose Custom mode, 
then it did allow me to specify the AdminDomain and everything worked.  
If I use the console on machine 1, I can see both servers and manage them.

However, I cannot manage server 1 from the console running on server 2 - 
it shows up in the console, but I get a NullPointerException when I 
click on it.

When you tried using your old server as the config DS for the new 
server, did you use Typical mode?  Did you get any errors that said 
something about a domain or an admin domain?
