administrator, then click Connect.

the servers:

m To review status information for a particular service running on a server, click the
disclosure triangle next to the server name to see a list of its services. Then select the

the server. The next time you open Server Status, any server you have added is displayed
in the Devices & Services list and can be monitored again by selecting a server in the list.
