Setting Up Mac OS X Server for the First Time

If you haven’t installed and set up Mac OS X Server, do so now.

•Refer to Mac OS X Server Getting Started for Version 10.3 or Later, the document that came with your software, for instructions on server installation and setup. For many environments, this document provides all the information you need to get your server up, running, and available for initial use.

•Review this guide to determine which services you’d like to refine and expand, to identify new services you’d like to set up, and to learn about the server applications you’ll use during these activities.

•Read specific chapters to learn how to continue setting up individual services. Pay particular attention to the information in these sections: “Setup Overview,”“Before You Begin,” and “Setting Up for the First Time.”

Getting Help for Everyday Management Tasks

If you want to change settings, monitor services, view service logs, or do any other day- to-day administration task, you can find step-by-step procedures by using the on- screen help available with server administration programs. While all the network services’ administration tasks are also documented in the network services administration guide, sometimes it’s more convenient to retrieve information in onscreen help form while using your server.

Getting Additional Information

In addition to this document, you’ll find information about Mac OS X Server:

•In Mac OS X Server Getting Started for Version 10.3 or Later, which tells you how to install and set up your server initially.

•At www.apple.com/server.

•In onscreen help on your server.

•In Read Me files on your server CD.
