This is probably a dumb question, I know how to do it in windows, but how do associate a client machine in 10.3 with a server, and mount shares or do whatever. The server is also 10.3, and configured to host the netinfo database.

i think it is applications->utilities->directory access-> click the lock to make changes -> highlight netinfo -> configure. if i remember correctly that is where you point it to the server.

Yep, that's right.

Unless you have a lot of legacy NetInfo data, you should migrate to LDAP. NetInfo is being phased out. Plus, LDAP performs much better.

Well, do you know LDAP performs much better?
It's true, Open Directory 2 in 10.3 Server is much improved and is more scalable than NetInfo.
However, Open Directory in 10.2 server used NetInfo as the back end database, meaning it wasn't really much faster or more scalable. So I think you're talking out of... your... ummm :-)

Yes, it performs much faster. I've done extensive testing of 10.3's Open Directory 2 services.
10.3's LDAP uses Berkeley DB as the back end database. So, it performs much faster than NetInfo ever could. NetInfo choked on a few thousand records. Berkeley DB can handle hundreds of thousands of records.
