Run this command if:

The client that is bound to and OSX server (via Directory Utility).
The computer is in a computer group on the server.
The computer is suppose to receive preferences from this computer group.  

Example, you are controlling the login window to show the name of the company or school.  If the computer isn't showing this information and the computer is in the computer group, then run the following command.  

rm -rf /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/computers/
  (this removes the plist that is affecting the computer)
shutdown -r now 
  (this will just restart the computer)

These commands can be run via the Unix command option in Apple's Remote Desktop.
