Applescript for binding clients to OD

[effects]

I was looking for an applescript that would enable me to bind my clients to my OS X server for authentication and contacts. It would be nice to have this, so I could push it out through ARD.

Thanks!

I think you are better off using a shell script personally. However, you can take my script and use the [color=Red]do shell script[/color] command in Apple Script if you so desire.

[code]#!/bin/sh
#This script binds a 10.4.11 or 10.5 client to an LDAP (OD) server.

#please input your FQDN after the newserver variable
newserver=”server.domain.com”

#now binding to new server

/usr/sbin/dsconfigldap -a $newserver
/usr/bin/dscl localhost -create /Search SearchPolicy dsAttrTypeStandard:CSPSearchPath
/usr/bin/dscl localhost -merge /Search CSPSearchPath /LDAPv3/$newserver
/usr/bin/dscl localhost -create /Contact SearchPolicy dsAttrTypeStandard:CSPSearchPath
/usr/bin/dscl localhost -merge /Contact CSPSearchPath /LDAPv3/$newserver[/code]
