Please see my post at the Apple Discussion boards: [url]http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12234632#12234632[/url]. While this is a problem description, it might provide an avenue for your to achieve at least something.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]What was the problem that you were looking to solve here?

You needed to change the OD admin’s password?[/p][/QUOTE]

I needed to change the OD admin’s password, because it had changed itself between releasing a PC from it’s Mac OS X Leopard Server hosted Windows domain and attempting to rejoin it.

The suggestion I was given [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1295797&tstart=0]elsewhere[/url] was to demote my Open Directory server to “standalone” and then to re-promote it to Open Directory Master. This meant that I had to rebuild my (small) Open Directory user database. I also then demoted the SMB service to providing only a standalone server, before re-promoting it to Primary Domain Controller. I then had to re-share my user home folder share and include the proper afp URL in the user’s OD records. All is working now.

Also, over at [url=http://www.makemacwork.com/]Mac Mac Work[/url] they have instructions on how to do this. Refer to the sidebar on the right to find the topic “Master Open Directory” (Part 1 and 2).

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: MacTroll[/u][p]Can you use dscl to walk the Leopard directory after you have bound to it?[/p][/QUOTE]
With a little time studying the dscl man page I could probably do that, given that I had never heard of that command before. However, would you, MacTroll, mind assembling a command like that, more or less ready to use?
