Computers You Can Use to Administer a Server

When you want to administer a local server using the graphical administration applications (they’re in /Applications/Server/), log in to the server as an administrator and open them. To administer a remote server, open the applications on an administrator computer—any Mac OS X Server or Mac OS X version 10.3 or later computer onto which they’ve been installed.

You can run command-line tools from the Terminal Application (it’s in /Applications/Utilities/) on any Mac OS X Server or Mac OS X computer. You can also run command-line tools from a UNIX workstation.
