Whether you’ll create user and group accounts on your Mac mini, or use accounts

from an existing directory service.

For a list of information needed to fully configure your Mac mini using Server Assistant,

see

Mac OS X Server: Installation and Setup Worksheet

on the

Mac OS X Server Install DVD

or on the Apple Server Resources website at www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources.

If you already have a Mac with Mac OS X Server version 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6, Server

Assistant can help you automatically transfer system settings, service settings, user

accounts, files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac to your

Mac mini. Use an Ethernet, FireWire, or a wireless connection to transfer information.

For information about working with the services in Mac OS X Server, see the

Mac OS X

Server: Getting Started

guide that was included with your Mac mini. For detailed

information about Mac OS X Server, go to www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources.

Step 7:

Customize your desktop and set your preferences.

You can easily make your desktop look the way you want using System Preferences,

your command center for most settings on your Mac mini. Choose Apple (

) > System

Preferences from the menu bar, or click the System Preferences icon in the Dock. For

more information, open Mac Help and search for “System Preferences” or for the

specific preference you want to change.
