Error creating Open Directory Replica in Mountain Lion

I've got the exact same problem.

I setup 2 clean installed 10.8.4 servers.

I configured one as an OD Master with no problems.
I then tried to configure the second as a replica and it always fails.

Both servers have a FQDN.
sudo changeip -checkhostname shows no error on both servers.

I tried these instructions: http://www.mountainlionserver.com/s...irectory-replica-in-os-x-mountain-lion-server

But running sudo slapconfig -preflightreplica 172.16.2.23 diradmin on the replica-wanna-be server gives an error.

Has anyone succeeded in setting up a replica under 10.8.4?

Helpful tip: when asking questions about errors, state the error.

And yes, I have a 10.8.4 OD Master/replica working fine.

Good to hear that someone has succeeded in setting up a 10.8.4 replica.

When I run the slapconfig -preflightreplica command I get the following message.

Is 172.16.2.23 your OD Master's IP address?
What is your DNS setup? Are both master and replica on the same network? Is there a firewall in the way?

I managed to create an OD replica 10.8.4 from a 10.8.4 OD Master.

I followed the instructions in this discussion:

What I can't create now is an OD replica from an OD Master that's also bound to AD.
