Upgrading from OS X 10.6.8 to OS X 10.9 Mavericks

So, the plan is to have all macs updated to OS X mavericks, and a Mac Pro setup with Mavericks Server software! Here's how it is going:

Found this nice article on how to create an install disk for Mavericks. Basically download Mavericks just have a disk with GUID partition and type this into Terminal:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/UNTITLED --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction

Should come up with:

Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%... 20%...100%...
Copying installer files to disk...
Copy complete.
Making disk bootable...
Copying boot files...
Copy complete.
Done.


Makes a bootable version on disk (here named UNTITLED)

After a fresh install I added to Active Directory, and Xservers LDAPv3.

Active Directory user logged in fine.

Setup Apple Remote Desktop. Working fine

It isn't getting managed preferences from the Xserver yet. I will wait an hour longer.
