You can also use an administrator computer to manage the server remotely after setup.
You make a computer with Mac OS X v10.6 into an administrator computer by installing
server administration software on it. If you have another server with Mac OS X Server
v10.6 already set up, you can use it as an administrator computer as well.
To set up an administrator computer:
1 Make sure the Mac OS X computer has Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard installed.
2 Insert the Mac OS X Server Administration Tools disc.
3 Open the Installers folder.
4 Double-click ServerAdministrationSoftware.mpkg to open the Installer, and then follow
the onscreen instructions.
For information about using an administrator computer, see “Installing Remotely” on
page 57, “ Setting Up a Server Remotely” on page 65, and “Connecting Server
Preferences to a Remote Server” on page 77.
