67Chapter 4 Setting Up Mac OS X Server
When the server starts up, Server Assistant opens automatically and waits for remote
setup to begin.
6 On an administrator computer, open Server Admin and select “Ready for Setup” in the
list on the left.
Server Admin is located in /Applications/Server/.
If Server Admin asks for a password to connect to a server that’s already set up on
your network, you can click Cancel. You don’t need an administrator account to set up
Mac OS X Server remotely.
7 Select the target server on the right, and then click Set Up.
Server Admin identies uncongured servers by name, IP address, and MAC address.
The name may be generated from the computer model and the MAC address.
If the server you want isn’t listed, you can click the Refresh (curved arrow) button
to have Server Admin look again for servers that are ready for setup on your local
network.
If the server you want is on a dierent local network, choose Server > Set Up Remote
Server.
8 When Server Assistant opens, do one of the following, depending on the status of the
server you want to set up:
 If the server is listed as “Authentication required,” select it, click Authenticate, and enter
its password.
 If server you want isn’t listed, click Add, enter the server’s DNS name or its IP address in
IPv4 format (for example, 192.0.2.200), and enter its password.
