No, not in the way you seem to be thinking.
While there are ways to have the client machines update, slapd (openldap-server) wouldn't not be used directly in those processes. Think ssh and a package manager (e.g. apt-get).
You ought to look into some sort of configuration management (e.g. ansible, puppet, chef, or salt).
