Now, let’s put Leopard Server to work! To make the best use of this document, you should look at the four scenarios below, choose the one that most closely describes your personal needs, skip to it, and go through the instructions for that particular one.

Scenario 1: Leopard Server on an Existing Mac Pro in a Small Office Using Apple AirPort Extreme as the Network Router (page 4).

Scenario 2: Leopard Server on an Xserve or a Mac Pro in a Small Office with Routing/ Firewall Services (page 9).

Scenario 3: Leopard Server on an Xserve in a Co-location Facility (page 15.)

Scenario 4: Leopard Server on an Xserve for a Workgroup at a Medium-to-Large Business with an Existing Server Infrastructure (page 20).

Remember that Leopard Server can grow and adapt as your group grows. You also may find, as your needs and skills with Leopard Server grow, that you want to go into greater depth and learn about more advanced administration options. So Leopard Server comes with a more in-depth printed Getting Started guide, and comprehensive documentation of Mac OS X Server is available at http://www.apple.com/server/documentation.

OK! Let's get started.
