Adding AD groups to the OD side using WGM

I am integrating AD with OD so I can mange pref’s using OD for a ton of Mac accounts.

I have no idea how to add AD users to the OD side, as I cannot be authenticated to more than one at a single time. I have tried multiple windows but am at a loss. If I try and export, all the password data is lost (at least thats what the warning message says)

can anyone give me a step by step on this?

Also, could someone also clear up the "adding Mac address one by one" to the OD side as well…I have read this in the forum…where do you add these and why?

When you bind the client to OD after a successful bind to AD, you are not supposed to enter credentials? Why is this? Is this correct?

Thanks
