Apple Mac OS X Server v10.2 - Manual (Page 11)

Setting Up Your Server 11
2 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If you don’t complete the setup immediately after restarting the remote server, you can rerun
the assistant later.
To rerun the assistant for a remote server:
1 On your administrator computer, open the Server Assistant.
2 On the assistant’s Welcome pane, choose “Create an administrator account and configure
basic services.”
3 On the Remote Setup pane, select the server computer and type its password.
The password is the first 8 digits of the server’s built-in hardware serial number. You can use
Apple System Profiler to find a server’s serial number, or you can look for a label on the server.
If you are installing on an older computer that has no built-in hardware serial number, use
12345678 for the password.
4 Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the setup.
Moving the Server After Installing the Software
The Server Assistant opens the Open Directory Assistant for you. However, if you plan to
move the server to another IP subnet after installing the server software, you need to run the
Open Directory Assistant separately after moving the server to its permanent subnet.
To move a server to a different location and finish setup:
1 When the Open Directory Assistant asks if your server is in its permanent location, click No.
2 Move the server to its permanent subnet.
3 Open the Open Directory Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the onscreen
instructions.
Setting Up an Administrator Computer
If you want to install Mac OS X Server remotely or on a computer that has no display
or keyboard attached, you must first set up an administrator computer. You use the
administrator computer to control the installation and setup of the server. Later, you can
use the administrator computer to manage the server remotely.
Administrator System Requirements
You can install the server administration software on any of these computers:
m Power Mac G4 or Macintosh G4 Server
m Power Macintosh G3 or Macintosh G3 Server
