Changing IP addresses on OS X Server, and you
When the going gets tough with a computer, we often contemplate whimping out to the nuclear option (AKA reformatting and starting over). But what a relief it was to discover the changeip command found in OS X server. This is quite useful when network changes are made to the network, such as when changing the ip addressing scheme.

The original IP address may also be embedded within the configuration settings of some network services such as OS X's Open Directory.

That appeared to be the only reason we couldn't authenticate the OS X clients against the Open Directory. The clients said they had access to the Network Accounts, but that is as far as they got until we ran changeip.
