This is something you hopefully learned early or were told by an more experienced Mac admin— configuring, let alone automating, Xserves from a CLI is an exercise in futility as so many components system have been rewritten to do things "the Apple Way."

Learned that soon enough, only 2 Xserves were used and the rest of the rack quickly went back to Linux ;-) Although those puppies are still up-and-running of course (my Xserve adventure was in 2003)
