56 Appendix A Mac OS X Server Worksheet
Serial number The serial number for your copy of Mac OS X
Server. The format of the server serial number is
xsvr-104-999-x-zzz-zzz-zzz-zzz-zzz-zzz-z, where x
is a letter, 9 is a digit, and z is a letter or digit. The
first element (xsvr) and the fourth one (x) must be
lowercase.
Unless you have a site license, you need a unique
serial number for each server. You’ll find the
server software serial number printed on the
materials provided with the server software
package.
If you have a site license, a registered owner
name and organization must be entered exactly
as specified by your Apple representative.
If you set up a server using a generic setup file or
directory record and the serial number isn’t site
licensed, you must enter the server’s serial
number using Server Admin.
Administrator’s long
name (sometimes
called full name or
real name)
A long name can contain no more than 255 bytes.
The number of characters ranges from 255
Roman characters to as few as 85 3-byte
characters. It can include spaces. It can’t be the
same as any predefined user name, such as
System Administrator. This name is case sensitive
in the login window, but not when accessing file
servers.
Administrator’s short
name
A short name can contain as many as 255 Roman
characters, typically eight or fewer. Use only a
through z, A through Z, 0 through 9, _
(underscore), or - (hyphen). Avoid short names
that Apple assigns to predefined users, such as
“root.”
Administrator’s
password
This value is case sensitive and must contain at
least 4 characters. It is also the password for the
root user.
If you record this value, be sure to keep this
worksheet in a safe place.
After setup, use Workgroup Manager to change
the password for this account.
