Installing Mac OS X Server 15
After Installing Mac OS X Server
Using the Setup Assistant
The Setup Assistant helps you to configure your computer. The assistant asks you questions
about yourself, your location, and the settings and services you want for your computer, and
then configures your computer using your answers. You can use the Setup Assistant (in the
Apple menu, in the Server Administration submenu) anytime you want to change the settings
for your computer.
Assigning Passwords
Mac OS X Server is a multi-user operating system; users must log in with a user name and
password. When you use the Setup Assistant, you specify a user name and password for the
root user (the Administrator), and you can create any number of local user accounts. If you
select the Automatic Login option in the Setup Assistant, then every time the computer starts
up, it automatically logs in to the account you specified, without asking for a password.
Tip: To temporarily turn off automatic login so you can log in with a different account,
restart the computer while holding down the mouse button; then release the mouse button
when the login window appears.
You can create additional user accounts with the Network Manager application, located in the
Apple menu (in the Server Administration submenu). You must know the Administrator, or
“root,” password to create accounts. For help, open the Help menu in Network Manager.
About Starting Up
After you install Mac OS X Server and log in, the computer starts up with the Workspace
Manager active.
To start up the computer in Mac OS 8 (if it is installed on an internal drive), press the Option
key as the computer starts up. Once the computer restarts using the Mac OS 8 volume, if you
want to restart in Mac OS X Server, use the System Disk application. See “Using the System
Disk Program to Select a Startup Disk” on page 38 for details.
Important You must complete the Mac OS X Server Setup Assistant before you install
NetBoot software.
