    Okay, I have two OD servers running 10.3.7. They are each multi-homed in 4 subnets. Recently, we have had to change our IP scheme to a class B. I need to upgrade the servers to Tiger. I have heard that OD hard codes some of the IP info. So, I assume a reinstall is necessary. Here’s what I was thinking:

    Clone the current install to an external drive.
    Upgrade the server to Tiger.
    Export all Users and Groups
    Document the Shares
    Clean Install of Tiger
    Setup the new IPs and multihome info
    Configure OD
    Import Users and Groups
    Setup Shares according to Documentation
    Reset all user passwords.

    Is there a better way? What do you all recommend?

    The changeip tool will change the multi-homed IPs as well? What if I am going from a single homed to a multi-homed? Can it add the new IPs into LDAP?

    The answer to my own question is: Yes. Apparently, the changeip tool will change the multihomed ips and add ips to the LDAP. At least so far it seems to have worked.
