Chapter 3 Server Administration 49
Setting Up an Administrator Computer
An administrator computer is a computer with Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server version
10.3 or later that you use to manage remote servers.
Once you’ve installed and set up a Mac OS X Server that has a display, keyboard, and
optical drive, it is already an administrator computer. To make a computer with
Mac OS X into an administrator computer, you need to install additional software.
In the picture below, the arrows originate from administrator computers and point to
servers they might be used to manage.
To make a computer with Mac OS X into an administrator computer:
1 Make sure the Mac OS X computer has Mac OS X version 10.3 or later installed.
In addition, make sure the computer has at least 128 MB of RAM and 1 GB of unused
disk space.
2 Insert the Mac OS X Server Administration Tools disc.
3 Start the installer (ServerAdmin.pkg) and follow the onscreen instructions.
Using a Non-Mac OS X Computer for Administration
You can use a non-Mac OS X computer that offers SSH support, such as a UNIX
workstation, to administer Mac OS X Server using command-line tools. See the
command-line administration guide for more information.
