Server Admin

You use the Server Admin application to conﬁgure and manage most services, to set up and

manage server user accounts, and to conﬁgure share points (items such as folders and disks

you want users to be able to access on the server). Server Admin has an individual module

for managing each service.

You can use Server Admin locally (at the server) or remotely (from a computer running

Mac OS X or another Mac OS X Server).

Install Server Admin

To install Server Admin on a computer running Mac OS X, follow these steps:

1 On a Mac OS X computer with networking conﬁgured, insert the Admin Tools CD.

2 Open the Admin Install folder and double-click the installer package, Admin_Install.mpkg.

/Applications/Utilities.

To log in to Server Admin:
