Using Workgroup Manager with Mac OS X Server services, you can:

ÂCustomize the work environments of network users by organizing their desktop resources and personal files

ÂEnable services that require user accounts, such as mail, file sharing, iChat service, and web service

ÂShare system resources, such as printers and computers, maximizing their availability and ensuring that disk space and printer usage remains equitably shared

To get started with Workgroup Manager, see Chapter 3, “Getting Started with Workgroup Manager.”

Server Admin

The Server Admin application provides access to various tools and services that play a role in server management.

After installing the Mac OS X Server software, use Server Admin to set up directory services and establish your network. Then use Workgroup Manager to create and manage accounts. After that, use Server Admin to set up additional services to provide mail service, host websites, share printers, and create share points (which allow users to share folders and files).

For information about how to use the many services managed through Server Admin, see the service administration guides. The following table lists common server administration tasks and includes the location of related documentation.
