    Hi everyone,
    I’m having a bit of a problem. I want to join multiple computers to my OD domain with an ARD unix command. When I test the command however, I get two entries in WorkGroup Manager. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? I’m using 10.5.x clients and servers that are all fully patched. Here are the details.

    I execute:

    dsconfigldap -v -f -a xserve.mydomain.com -n xserve.mydomain.com -c `scutil --get ComputerName` -u odadminuser -p odadminpass
    sleep 1 ;
    
    dscl /Search -create / SearchPolicy CSPSearchPath ;
    dscl /Search -append / CSPSearchPath /LDAPv3/xserve.mydomain.com ;
    
    sleep 1
    dscl /Search/Contacts -create / SearchPolicy CSPSearchPath ;
    dscl /Search/Contacts -append / CSPSearchPath /LDAPv3/xserve.mydomain.com ;

    Then workgroup manager then shows two entries for that computer:

    computername$
    computername.mydomain.com$

    computername$ has the correct entries for the Ethernet ID and other fields, so any ideas on how I get rid of the extranious entry? My apologies if this has been covered before, but I couldn’t find anything when I searched the forum.

    Thanks in advance!

    -Brad
