I think I figured that issue out as well.  I couldn't get the bind to show up in Imaging 7 so I created a new one that was identical but a different name.  Sure enough, the new one showed up fine in all my Casper apps.  It must be something in upgrading from JSS 6 to JSS 7 that got lost in the database.

I could not see my adbind settings from version6 when I upgraded to version 7.  I just when to the JSS server via the web went into each ad binding and clicked save and then I could see them in version 7.

I just upgraded our JSS yesterday to v7 and have been having a few issues with v7.  I'm almost certain it's user error so I figured I'd ask the experts.

Managed Preferences: I went through and made some quick managed preference settings just to test this out.  I did one that would put the dock on the left so it would be obvious if it worked.  I can't seem to figure out when the clients will get this preference enforced though.  I have set up a group with my test device.  Does the client get it when the enforce management framework runs on the machine?  I'm anxious to see it work locally on the test machine.

OS X Disk: I'm very excited about the feature in v7 that allows you to create the OS package in Casper Admin from the Install Disk.  I took my Snow Leopard DVD from WWDC and made a dmg in Disk Utility.  Then I put the dmg into Casper Admin and checked the box for "This is a Mac OS X Install Disk".  Then when I imaged the test machine, it reboots to Macintosh HD but goes through the setup wizard.  Is there an easy way to supress this setup?  I'm hoping to get away from having a "gold master" hard drive to pull the base OS package from so hopefully I can get a fresh OS X install from the disk and have Casper Imaging add the management account and bind it to AD and everything for me.

AD Bind: I've noticed that since upgrading to v7, my imaged test device doesn't use my AD bind to get the device on our domain.  In the netboot image with Casper Imaging (v6) I don't see any available AD binds in the Accounts tab.  Is it possible that I need to rebuild my netboot image to have Casper Imaging v7.  I know I'll have to do this eventually but I'm not sure if that's why it's not pulling any AD Bindings from the JSS.
