m To retrieve online information, use the Help menu. It provides help for server
administrators about Server Status as well as other Mac OS X Server topics.
Macintosh Manager
You use Macintosh Manager to administer client management for Mac OS 8 and 9 client
computers. You can use it locally (at the server) or remotely (from a Mac OS 9 or X computer
on the same network as your Mac OS X Server).
Open Macintosh Manager by clicking its icon in the Dock. Log in using a server, Macintosh
Manager, or workgroup administrator user name and password. As a server administrator,
you automatically have global administrator privileges for Macintosh Manager.
See Chapter 10, “Client Management: Mac OS 9 and OS 8,” for more information.
NetBoot Administration Tools
There are several applications you use to administer NetBoot:
m NetBoot Desktop Admin lets you modify Mac OS 9 images.
m Network Image Utility lets you create and modify Mac OS X images.
m The DHCP/NetBoot module of Server Settings lets you save NetBoot images.
See Chapter 12, “NetBoot,” for information about these tools.
Network Install Administration Application
You use Package Maker to create Network Install packages.
See Chapter 13, “Network Install,” for information about this application.
Server Monitor
You use Server Monitor to monitor Xserve hardware and trigger email notifications when
circumstances warrant attention. Server Monitor shows you information about the installed
operating system, drives, power supply, enclosure and processor temperature, cooling
blowers, security, and network.
Server Monitor is installed in /Applications/Utilities/ when you install your server or set up an
administrator computer. Use the application to monitor local or remote servers:
m To specify the Xserve server to monitor, click Add Server, identify the server of interest,
and enter user name and password information for an administrator of the server.
m Use the “Update every” pop-up menu to specify how often you want to refresh data.
m Use the Export Items and Import Items buttons to manage different lists of Xserve servers
you want to monitor. The Merge Items button lets you consolidate lists into one.
