Remote AD Binder, via AppleScript Studio (is it possible?)

[shimpeno]

I have been trying to get a AppleSCript Studio App working that would use NIB text fiels entered by the user to ssh into a 10.4 client and then use dsconfigad to bind to Active Directory. So far, it ain’t workin. I am going to post the AppleSript below in hopes that some of the wrinkles that I am sure that I have made migh be ironed out. All you would need to do is create a new AppleScript Studio App, throw together a window with six text fields and a button, hook them up to my script and try to get that sucka workin. I get stuck at the SSH into remote box.
