Any way to enable Directory users as ARD administrators?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Howdy all,
Due to some corporate policy considerations, we have to change the local
admin accounts' passwords on all boxes (Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris,
etc.) on a monthly basis.  This means that, every 30 days, I will have
to go through each entry in my ARD client and manually update the
passwords by hand.  Is it possible, instead, to grant my Open Directory
domain account (which is flagged as a diradmin) the ability to connect
to ARD instances?  When you open the settings in the control panel, I am
only presented with local users.

Tangentially, is there a decent (Automator, perhaps?) way of going
through my ARD client list and updating all of the passwords in one fell
swoop?
