This article explains how to reset AFP and QTSS defaults in NetInfo.
DISCUSSION
Should configuration information stored in NetInfo become unusable, causing the Apple File Server and the QuickTime Streaming Server to work incorrectly it may be necessary to remove those items from the NetInfo database. Deleting this information and restarting the computer will set this information back to defaults and allow the server to function properly. If a backup of the NetInfo database is available, it may be more desirable to restore from the backup.
-
1. Login to Mac OS X Server as the administrator and open NetInfoManager by going to the Apple Menu and then Server Administration.
2. In the Directory Browser click the config directory in the middle window, and then the AFPserver directory in the third window shown below. Once this is correctly highlighted click the Trash Can button to delete the directory and confirm the deletion.

Note:
The AFPServer directory does not appear in the NetInfo database until the default server settings have been changed using the Remote Administration program.
To reset the QTSS defaults the procedure is very similar to that explained above.
