Tiger Server& Clients with Active Directory

I have a few labs that will be running Tiger. I have an XSERVE that is running Tiger Server. All of my users are stored on a Windows 2003 server in AD. I know how to bind an OSX machine to AD. What is the best way to set up my mac labs/Xserve so that when the users log in they get their home folder on the Windows server but have their preferences managed by Workgroup manager?
 
Keep your AD as is.
Build an Open Directory Master.
Bind the OD Master to the AD.
Create OD groups and drag AD users into them for MCX settings.
Bind clients to both servers, with AD listed first. :)


That's the gist of it. You'll get your authentication info from AD and OS X will supplement the MCX from the OD, the second node in the list.
