Does anyone know where the "..." button pulls names from in the Computer Groups tab in Workgroup Manager? I've deleted computers and when I click the "+" to re-add them they're not there, but they're listed with the "..." button. Curious.

You mean computer groups? The names are imported by doing an
authenticated bind. I am not sure what you are exactly asking, can you
post a screen shot?

While I cannot find any concrete evidence (i.e. no manual or web link), I
believe this list is generated via Bonjour.

I stand corrected. I should have waited for the page to load:

Appears there are two conditions:

- The client is bound to the server using Directory Utility or - The client receives LDAP information via DHCP (also referred to as "option 95")

Bonjour on your local computer I thought.

Well I am fairly certain it has to be an authenticated bind with the
computer's name...

In any case, here are the screenies.

Matthews02 shows the entire group without Matthews01 (the one I delete) using the "+" button Matthews01 shows Matthews01 (the one I deleted) appear using the "..." button

I'm thinking this issue is a reason why this particular computer isn't receiving appropriate management from the server... Every time I try to perform an authenticated bind to the server I get an error saying the computer is already there and I can't overwrite. Dunno if it's related, but I'm still trying to figure out why some computers won't receive prefs.

If you delete a computer and are running OD replication you probably
have to delete it, then force a replication then readd it in, maybe?
