available for initial use.

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.”

administration task, you can find step-by-step procedures by using the onscreen help
