Finding Settings in Server Preferences
Server Preferences contains dozens of settings you can change to customize your
computer. You can quickly search Server Preferences to find the specific setting you
want.
To find settings in Server Preferences:
1 Open Server Preferences.
2 In the search box, type a word or phrase that describes what you want to change. For
example, if you want to add members to a group, type “group members.”
As you type, you see possible matches to what you’re typing below the search box.
3 When you see what you’re looking for in the search results list, stop typing. One or
more preferences are spotlighted in the Server Preferences window.
4 Click the item in the list that matches what you want to change. In the pane that
opens, you can change the settings for that item.
Connecting Server Preferences to a Remote Server
You can connect Server Preferences to a server over the network and manage users,
groups, services, and system information remotely.
To manage a server remotely:
1 Open Server Preferences on an administrator computer and choose Connection > New
Connection.
For information about administrator computers, see “Preparing an Administrator
Computer” on page 36.
