on the same network as your Mac OS X Server).

Manager, or workgroup administrator user name and password. As a server administrator,
you automatically have global administrator privileges for Macintosh Manager.

There are several applications you use to administer NetBoot:

See Chapter 12, “NetBoot,” for information about these tools.

administrator computer. To open Server Monitor, click the Server Monitor icon in the Dock
or double-click /Applications/Utilities/Server Monitor. Use the application to monitor local or
remote Xserve servers:
