We need to replace the directory services plist on number of client
machines. What is the best way to do this using Casper?
Thanks.

A .plist file in a .dmg package will overwrite the destination .plist file
on machines. You can simply push that using Casper Remote.
However, if all you need to do is change one or two settings in the .plist
file then you may be better off using the defaults command to make the
change and using Casper Remote to simply run the command.
Some changes may require a restart too. That depends on what you need to
accomplish.

better off scripting it with the command line dsconfigad
