Command line: add a computer to a OD computergroup

[kvschep]

I am trying to add a computer to an OD ComputerGroup (to use in a package for InstaDMG :))

The closest I can come is using dseditgroup:

dseditgroup -o edit -n /LDAPv3/mydirectory.domain.edu -u diradmin -p -a dhcp57-145 -t computer ManagedClients

I get:
ERROR: A Directory Service error occured.
-12136: eDSRecordNotFound

I have tried adding a $ on the end of my client name (because it appears there in WGM)

I have also tried using dscl:

dscl -append /ComputerGroups/ManagedClients GroupMembership dhcp57-145

I get:
append: Invalid Path
DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)

Maybe you need to add the $, but have to escape it or else the shell will eat it instead of passing it as part of the argument. I believe a \$ will escape it in bash, so try dhcp57-145\$.

In dscl, are you able to use that same command if you go into the dscl shell first?
