Apple Mac OS X Server (Administrator’s Guide) - Manual (Page 58)

58 Chapter 1
Administering a Server From Different Computers
You can use the server applications to manage the local server or to manage a remote server,
including headless servers. You can also manage Mac OS X Servers remotely from an
administrator computer. An administrator computer is a Mac OS X computer onto which
you have installed the server applications from the Mac OS X Server Administration Tools CD.
The following sections give you more information about the first 11 applications in the table
above, including instructions for using them to manage a remote server. The remaining
applications and tools are for use by experienced server administrators; see Chapter 17,
“Tools for Advanced Users,” for information about them.
Server Assistant
Server Assistant is the application you use to perform initial service setup of a Mac OS X
Server. You can use Server Assistant the first time you set up a local or remote Mac OS X
Server. See Getting Started With Mac OS X Server for instructions.
Open Directory Assistant
Use Open Directory Assistant to create shared server–resident NetInfo or LDAPv3 directory
domains, set up Password Servers, and configure access to shared domains and Password
Servers.
You can run Open Directory Assistant immediately after running Server Assistant, or you can
run it later, as many times as you like.
