OSXFAQ Seminars - Taming Jaguar
Understanding & Administrating Mac OS X Server 10.2

Overview

This two-day demonstration-lecture based seminar focuses on understanding how to setup, manage, and use Mac OS X Server 10.2. This is an intense seminar and does not cover the basics of Mac OS X but builds on that foundation. If you are looking for a seminar on Mac OS X, please check our Taming Jaguar Client Seminar.

Moving to Mac OS X Server requires knowledge of how to setup and maintain the various built-in services. Attendees will learn how to manage an upgrade from AppleShareIP to Mac OS X Server, installation options, networking setup including security settings and DHCP setup. Wešll also cover how to create network directories to better manage user, groups, and computer lists and what is needed to setup and maintain print queues and web servers. Day two covers the setup of sharing directories over multiple protocols so both Mac, Windows, and UNIX clients can retrieve files and folders from Mac OS X Server and the setup and management of the mail server. We conclude day two with preference management and a look at Macintosh Manager, NetBoot and Network installations, and how to accurately monitor your server and clone your database for redundancy and security.

You will learn

  • How to create and mange User and Groups and what options are available for Administrators.
  • How to setup the Firewall to protect your users and your Mac OS X Server.
