To add or remove a service in Server Admin:
1Select the server that will host the service.
2Click the Settings button in the toolbar.
3Click Services.
4Select the service and click Save.
The service now appears in the list, ready for configuration.
Importing and Exporting Service Settings
To copy service settings from one server to another or to save service settings in a plist file for reuse later, use the Export Service Settings command in Server Admin.
To export service settings:
1Select the server.

3Select the services whose settings you want to copy.
4Click Save.
The file that is created contains all service configuration information as a plist XML document.

1Select the target server to receive the settings.
2Choose Server > Import > Service Settings from the menu bar.
