As discussed in Part 1, System Image Utility is included with Mac OS X Server and offers the option of directly saving images to the configured NetBoot share points. Creating a NetBoot image. NetBoot creates the required folders on the server. Create a NetBoot image with System Image Utility. A folder with a name ending in.nbi appears. Upload this folder to the server’s NetBootSP0 folder, a share point that NetBoot created. Back in Server Admin, click the Images tab, select your image, click Save, and then start NetBoot. As posted here earlier, it is possible to create a 'Universal OS X' installation disk. But what's even better is one can create an Universal NetBoot Image, too! Simply image the partition, open the.plist file in the image folder, and add the entry ppc to architectures. Apple has removed, among many other things, DHCP serving and NetBoot Serving from their 'server' app in conjunction with the new OS. This won't affect 99.5% of people but I'm in the minority.

That's a big question Debbie. I'm not a training sales person, but I am an Apple Certified Trainer and I'd strongly recommend going on the Apple 'Mac OS X Server Essentials v10.4' training course. This will teach you everything you'd need to know. Since Mac OS X Server v10.2 and v10.3, things changed dramatically - meaning Apple server administrators need to know a lot more than they did before. Apple had to develop training courses to fulfil this.
I will try to advise as best I can within this limit medium.
You need to be running an Open Directory Master (LDAP). To do this, you must first ensure you have both forward and reverse DNS setup for your server's hostname and IP address. Study the Tiger version of the Open Directory admin guide for help with this.
Next Workgroup Manager must be creating your accounts in LDAP and not in NetInfo's local node.
Macintosh Manager for Mac OS X is called MCX (Managed Client X).
your client systems need to be 'integrated' with LDAP. There are a number of ways of achieving this. Manually this is done by configuring the LDAPv3 plug-in in the Directory Access utility on your client systems.
It really gets more complicated than this. You're probably going to have to spend a lot of time teaching yourself this. The Apple course would probably speed things along a lot.
More free advice is out there... make sure you read through Apple's Tiger server docs at http://www.apple.com/server/documentation
Good luck!
