The following illustration shows target servers on the same subnet as the administrator computer in one scenario and target servers on a different subnet in the other scenario. Both setup scenarios can be used to set up servers on the same and different subnets.

Subnet 1
Subnet 2
If a target server is on a different subnet, you must supply its IP address or DNS name. Servers on the same subnet are listed by Server Assistant, so you select servers from the list.
After server software is installed on a server, you can use the interactive approach to set it up remotely from an administrator computer that can connect to the target server.
To set up servers interactively:
1Make sure the DHCP or DNS servers you specify for the server you’re setting up to use are running.
2Make sure the target servers have been newly installed and are waiting for setup.
3Fill out the Installation & Setup Worksheet from the Install DVD or Administration Tools CD.
After installation, Server Assistant opens.
4If you are installing on a remote server, open Server Admin, select “Ready for Setup” in the list on the left, and then select the servers you want to set up.
After you click Set Up, Server Assistant opens and lists all the servers you selected in Server Admin.
If instead you choose Server > Set Up Remote Server, Server Assistant doesn’t list any servers in the Server pane, and you have to add them one by one by clicking Add.
5Select the target servers from the configuration list.
