Automatic Setup Client in leopard

[sandra]

How does automatic client setup work in the clients connected to a standard leopard server ?

I used a standard leopard server and I was so happy about the automatic configuration of my leopard clients. Utility Directory setups all the applications in the right way.
I had this log

Now I have an advanced leopard server and I have lost this option. Can I reproduce it in any way? (For example with terminal commands).

Thanks for your help

Bump.

I saw an article somewhere documenting how to replicate this behaviour on an OD in advanced mode, but I can’t for the life of me find that article!

Anybody done this before?

[trondah]

Found it!
