Re: Integrating Leopard Clients into Tiger Triangle

Currently, we have a working Magic (AD-OD) Triangle. Our OD Master, Xserve G5 running 10.4.8, manages a group of PHD Tiger clients (mostly running 10.4.11) via computer lists. Our file server is a Xserve Intel Quad running 10.4.8. I was wondering if anyone on the list has successfully integrated Leopard clients with a similar Tiger Triangle? We have some client machines that will soon be getting hardware upgrades and I was wondering what are the gotchas and possible workarounds. I’ve heard that Leopard server no longer supports computer lists so I have some suspicions that 10.5 clients may have problems with our current setup. Any related experiences, insights, or comments are welcome. Thank you.

Leopard will support computer lists from a upgraded OD setup and allow you to upgrade them at your leisure to groups. Tiger clients will see the group as a list and just not get the hierarchical prefs. I'm not sure what it will grab as its list though.

From the docs:
<snip>
Upgrading Computer Lists to Computer Groups 
Computer lists are groups of computers created in Mac OS X Server v10.4 or earlier. 
Computer lists can only include computers, not other computer lists. Computer groups 
can include computers and hierarchical computer groups. You can hierarchically 
manage preferences for computer groups. 
Computer groups can include computers running earlier versions of Mac OS X. These 
computers don't receive hierarchical preference management. 
To upgrade computer lists to computer groups: 
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts, click the Computer Groups button, and then 
select a computer list. 
2 In the Basic pane, click Upgrade Computer List to Group.
