Setting Up Mac OS X Server for the First Time
If you haven’t installed and set up Mac OS X Server, do so now.

software, for instructions on server installation and setup. For many environments, this
document provides all the information you need to get your server up, running, and
available for initial use.
m Review Chapter 1, “Administering Your Server,” in this guide to determine which services
you’d like to refine and expand, to identify new services you’d like to set up, and to learn
about the server applications you’ll use during these activities.
m Read specific chapters to learn how to continue setting up individual services. Pay
particular attention to the information in these sections: “Setup Overview,” “Before You
Begin,” and “Setting Up for the First Time.”
Getting Help for Everyday Management Tasks
If you want to change settings, monitor services, view service logs, or do any other day-to-day
administration task, you can find step-by-step procedures by using the online help available
with server administration programs. While all the administration tasks are also documented
in this guide, sometimes it’s more convenient to retrieve information in online help form
while using your server.
