Thanks for the help!!
Our setup is pretty much the same albeit a bit larger, we have 2 sites with 4 win2k3 DC's and 5 mac servers (ODM/ODR/Wiki/Sandbox/SIU&SUS) split up on each. My directory settings for the ODM/R and clients are exactly as you specified and I have been applying MCX to computer groups. The first set of laptops I imaged, I had to manually bind to OD because I could only get the bombich script to bind to AD through ARD.
This is round 2, so I will let you know how the script goes and if I had to make any changes.
Again, thank you for the response!
