Mac OS X Server: DHCP and Open Directory

You can push out Open Directory bindings through DHCP.  This means that if anything happens with your DHCP server that your users might not be able to log in.  This is also not a trusted bind, or a bind where your computer records are generated on the server.  If you take issue to either of these then you likely want to check out pushing out Open Directory bindings using the dsconfigldap command through, let’s say, Apple Remote Desktop.
