I'll say it wasn't for the feint of heart and it didn't work the
first time, but finally I got my OS X Server 10.3 users imported into
my new server and the passwords were maintained.
Fan-freakin-tastic!
Next step: get my 10.3 Client users imported. I'm going to try using
the Migration Assistant that comes with 10.4 Client. Then, I'll use
the NetInfo to LDAP Migrator in Server Admin.
Any objections?

My 10.3 Server is an OD Master. Where should I see the "Archive"
option? In the "Computer & Services list? under Open Directory?
In the top application menubar?

I have a slightly more complicated situation.
I have a two machines with users and groups that I want to
migrate to my new Xserve running 10.4 Server.
Machine 1:
Mac OS X Server 10.3
Users/Groups in LDAP
Machine 2:
Mac OS X 10.3 (not server)
Users/Groups in NetInfo
If that's not a big enough hassle, I have some users that exist
on both machines, so some cleanup will have to occur one way or
another.
Also, I would REALLY like to preserve passwords from both, but if
I can't... so be it.
I tried Option 1, but since my master is 10.3, I can't make a
10.4 server a replica.
Option 2 will not preserve the passwords, and I don't think I can
get Workgroup Manager to work on a non-server OS.
I don't even understand Option 3. I don't see any "Archive" or
"Backup" function in Server Admin.
Actually, WM will run on OS X client (connect to "localhost"), and
I suspect will allow you to export users and groups, and excluding
standard system "users"/accounts by default. As you've noted, this
will not preserve passwords.
As for "option 3", You won't see the "Archive" option in Server
Admin unless your server has been promoted to Open Directory Master.
