Chapter 7 Initial Server Setup 99
9 Enter the setup data as you move through the Assistant’s panes, following the
onscreen instructions. When prompted, enter the serial number for each target server.
10 After all setup data has been specified, review the summary displayed by Server
Assistant and optionally click Go Back to change data.
11 To 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.
12 To initiate server setup, click Apply.
When server setup is complete, click Continue. The target servers restart automatically
and you can log in as the administrator-user created during setup to configure their
services.
Setting Up Multiple Remote Servers Interactively One at a Time
You can use the interactive approach to set up multiple servers by using multiple
Server Assistant windows on an administrator computer.
To set up multiple remote servers interactively one at a time:
1 Fill out the Mac OS X Server worksheet for each server you want to set up. The
worksheet is on page 111. Supplemental information appears in “Information You Need”
on page 90.
2 Make sure the target servers and any DHCP or DNS servers you want them to use are
running.
3 On an administrator computer that can connect to all the target servers, open Server
Assistant. It’s located in /Applications/Server/.
4 In the Welcome pane, select “Set up a remote server” and click Continue.
5 In the Destination pane, check one of the remote servers you want to set up. Then type
the preset password in the Password field for the server and click Continue to connect
to the server.
If you don’t see the server you want to set up on the list, click Add to add it.
6 In the Language pane, specify the language you want to use to administer the target
server, then click Continue.
7 Use step 8 if you want to use saved setup data. Otherwise, use step 9.
