11To save the setup data as a text file or in a form you can reuse (a setup file or directory record), click Save As. All the settings you specified except the server serial number are saved. When you use setup data saved in a file or directory to set up a server, you need to use Server Admin to enter the serial number after the server setup is complete.
To encrypt the file, select “Save in Encrypted Format” then enter and verify a passphrase. You must supply the passphrase before an encrypted setup file can be used by a target server.
12To initiate server setup, click Apply.
When server setup is complete, click Continue. The target server restarts automatically and you can log in as the
Setting Up Multiple Remote Servers Interactively in a Batch
You can use the interactive approach to set up multiple servers as a batch if:
•All the servers are accessible from an administrator computer
•All the servers use the same setup data except for network identities (host name, computer name, and Rendezvous name) and server software serial number
•Network identities are provided by a DHCP or BootP server
To set up multiple remote servers interactively in a batch:
1Fill out the Mac OS X Server worksheet with settings you want to use for all servers you want to set up. The worksheet is on page 111. Supplemental information appears in “Information You Need” on page 90.
2Make sure the target servers and any DHCP or DNS servers you want them to use are running.
3On an administrator computer that can connect to all the target servers, open Server Assistant. It’s located in /Applications/Server/.
4In the Welcome pane, select “Set up a remote server” and click Continue.
5In the Destination pane, put a check in the Apply column for the remote servers you want to set up. Then type the preset password in the Password field for each server and click Continue to connect to the servers.
If you don’t see a target server you want to set up on the list, click Add to add it.
6In the Language pane, specify the language you want to use to administer the target servers, then click Continue.
7Use step 8 if you want to use saved setup data. Otherwise, use step 9.
8In the Language pane, choose File > Open Configuration File or File > Open Directory Record to load the saved setup data you want to use. If the saved setup data is encrypted, type the passphrase when prompted.
Optionally choose View > Jump to Review to review the setup data, then use Go Back as necessary to change it.
