Whether you're new to networking or an experienced administrator, this book provides all the details you need to administer Mac OS X Server Version 10.2.3 or later. The first chapter surveys the features of individual services (directory, file, client management, print, Web, mail, and network services) and introduces the applications and tools for administering them. This chapter acquaints you with some of the server's most unique and powerful features, such as Open Directory (the open, extensible Mac OS X directory service architecture), Workgroup Manager (the graphical application for managing users, groups, and file sharing), and NetBoot and Network Install (just two examples of the server's comprehensive Macintosh workgroup management facilities). Each service has a chapter that includes an overview of how the service works, what it can do for you, strategies for using it, how to set it up for the first time, and how to administer it over time. Most chapters end with a section called Where to Find More Information, which points you to Web sites and other relevant reference material.
