Add to NetInfo on a fully patched Leopard machine? Am I missing something?

I’ve basically just copied the above command from elsewhere on this site, but not with any real understanding of the fundamentals of what it does. So if I interpret what you are asking (in other words that I am doing something wrong in this case) could you tell me where or what is incorrect about the above. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. I’m a fairly recent Mac convert who has been thrown in at the deep end, so I’m probably misunderstanding something somewhere. In regard to Server Admin utility, are you saying to install this on the clients and do the user administration that way (we have an OS X server here running 10.4, but it is not an OD master, just used as a file server)?

The command I have been trying to nest the users is

dseditgroup -o edit -a “mac users” -t group -n /NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode admin

where mac users is the AD group.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: carlos77[/u][p]Thanks for the reply Mactroll – could you advise me how to do this or point me in the direction of some instructions on how to do this? I’ve done a fair bit of googling, but can’t find anything useful.

EDIT – OK think I’ve found some stuff now!! Cheers.[/p][/QUOTE]

Nope still stuck! We don’t have the magic triangle setup here (at the moment at least), just the Macs authenticating straight to AD. If anyone could help me here, would be greatly appreciated as I’m not making any progress on this at the moment.
