Chapter 4 Initial Server Setup 97
Setting Up Multiple Remote Servers Interactively in a Batch
You can use the interactive approach to set up multiple servers as a batch if:
 All the servers are accessible from an administrator computer
 All the servers use the same setup data except for server software serial numbers and
network identities (host name, computer name, and local hostname)
 Network identities are provided by a DHCP or BootP server
To set up multiple remote servers interactively in a batch:
1 Fill out the Mac OS X Server Worksheet for Version 10.4 or Later with settings you want to
use for all servers you want to set up.
The worksheet is located on the Mac OS X Server installation disc in the
Documentation folder. Supplemental information appears in “Information You Need”
on page 80. The Preface tells you where else you can find the worksheet.
2 Make sure the target servers and any DHCP or DNS servers you want them to use are
running.
3 On an administrator computer that can connect to all the target servers, open Server
Assistant. It’s located in /Applications/Server/. You don’t have to be an administrator on
the administrator computer to use Server Assistant.
4 In the Welcome pane, select “Set up a remote server” and click Continue.
5 In the Destination pane, put a check in the Apply column for each remote server you
want to set up. Then type the preset password in the Password field for each server
and click Continue to connect to the servers.
If you don’t see a target server you want to set up on the list, click Add to add it.
6 In the Language pane, specify the language you want to use to administer the target
servers.
