Destination—remote server
(Skip these settings unless you’re setting up remotely.)
Server Assistant lists servers on the local network (IP subnet) that have Mac OS X Server newly
installed and are ready for setup. Each of these computers is identified by its IP address and DNS
name. You can specify an unlisted server by entering its IP address or DNS name.
To begin remote setup, you must enter the remote server’s preset password. It consists of the first 8
characters of the server’s built-in hardware serial number, located on a label on the server. For a server
with no built-in hardware serial number, use 12345678.
Server configuration
Leopard Server offers several options for setting up your server to suit your circumstances:
 Standard: a simplified configuration ideal for the first server or only server in a small organization
 Workgroup: An easy-to-use setup ideal for a workgroup in an organization with an existing directory
server
 Advanced: A flexible configuration ideal for advanced, highly customized deployments
For more information about the configuration choices, see Chapter 1, “Introducing Mac OS X Server,”
in Getting Started.
Language
(Skip this setting unless you’re setting up remotely.)
The language you select affects the server’s time and date formats, text that appears in the server
administration applications, and the default encoding used by the file sharing service (AFP protocol).
It doesn’t affect the language of client computers. For example, you can administer a server in English
even though it supports client computers that use Japanese.
Serial number
You must use a Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard serial number, which begins with XSVR-105. You’ll find
the serial number printed on the materials provided with the Mac OS X Server package. Unless you
have a site license, you need a unique serial number for each server. You can’t use a serial number
from an earlier version of Mac OS X Server to register Leopard Server.
