I can join computers to AD using dsconfigad, but users can not login
(authenticated thru AD) unless I go into Directory Access and
Authentication tab and explicitly set it (add custom path).

I was hoping the one command would do it, but it appears to be a two
step process. It does save time cutting and pasting the text, rather
than fill in the little boxes, but short of creating a cool script that
gets the hostname, pastes it into my dsconfigad command then turns on
authentication in DA to AD, using Applescript GUI? i am not sure how
to do this.

In short, it works manually, but to speed up the process and make it
easier with my builds (master build, clone thru NetRestore) -- I appeal
to all of you for ideas and suggestions.

At this point I will go to each machine after I clone them and join
them with my dsconfigad command then turn authentication on in
directory access.

This is easily solved; just bind the master machine to AD, add the AD
plugin to its Authentication tab, then un-bind the machine. Then go
make your netrestore image and clone the machine. This way, you really
do only have to use dsconfigad to make it work.

(this is what I do in my lab, it works just fine)
