All right, now that we've got Mac OS server installed on our Mac client here, we're just going to
run through a few of the interface options here for the server application itself.
So where we left off last time as I had launched server, and so it's sitting here running in the dock
and this is the main server interface, as you can see.
I've got my hostname, I've got my computer name, and I've also got this reachable at option here.
And this is something we'll talk about a little bit later.
But this is basically my external IP address to communicate over the Internet with my server shows me
some running time information here, version five of that eight and my network interface that I'm currently
running off of.
I have some options here for remote access, we had turn on stage earlier, so that's checked and screen
sharing and remote desktop is as well.
You can also install the Mac OS server application on any other Mac.
And if you want to be able to connect to this server from another Mac using the application versus remoting
into the entire desktop, you can do that.
And so we're going to say this as well, using server on a remote Mac.
That's what that means, using the server application.
That way I can install it on my actual machine and still get this entire interface without having to
initiate a remote desktop session.
And this is also helpful.
If you don't own remote desktop, you're not interested in purchasing remote desktop.
But you still want a remote manager, Mac.
And then access, this is basically setting up custom access for different users and groups based on
what what network they're on, you can configure this in segment out different networks.
You can lock it down so that the only thing you can do is interact with these services from this Mac
itself or from any number of networks, private networks.
I'm going to set that as default so it's not available from outside.
Going down the left hand side, we'll just talk about these things, so alert's.
This is where any performance alerta issue with any services would would start to populate and they'll
show up here, but we can also configure delivery.
So this is probably something you're going to want to do.
Bare minimum is go in and add an email recipient here.
So you may have support at maybe your company.
And you want to add that in here, this is also cool, if you have an Apple ID, you can also set up
push notifications and so you'll actually get a notification in notification center on other Macs.
So perhaps you may want to do that as well.
So I'll check that out at my Apple IDF.
Put that in here already.
Already have a certificate set up.
If you didn't ID walk you through downloading a certificate, it's it's completely automated, the easy
and then you can go in here and choose who should be getting these, these alerts.
So this is basically by users.
So if I, if I basically have five or six administrators on my team, I can go in and recipients.
Right now I only have one user even in my directory here.
So it's just me.
But if I had multiple users that were admins on the server, I can go in and add those here and so that
everybody will get the alerts and they'll pop up in the notification center area here in Austin under
notifications.
And you can see I've got a few test alerts here and I'll just demo this for you so you can see what
that looks like.
You can choose your alert types, push notifications or email, or you can mix and match.
So we'll leave it on for all of these and we'll just hit send test alerts.
You can see what would happen.
So once I do that, I get my test alert and I should get a notification center alert as well here in
just a second.
And you'll see that it's listed here.
I can see what the alert is and interact with it here.
Say just alert summary.
And you can see took just a second, but the push notification came through as well.
So this allows me to set these alerts up on my Mac server and then on my Mac clients and other systems.
Administrators of my organization could be working along and then they'll get that notification.
We'll all get the notification if there's something that goes wrong with the server so we can respond
to it before maybe our users find out.
So I'm going to go ahead and clear the alert and we'll just leave all of this in here as it is certificate's.
This just shows you what surf certificates are installed on the server.
This gives you your server logs.
And we've got the system log and the service log and the service helper log in the migration log.
So these are specific to profile manager services is specific just to the system.
And so this is the same stuff you would see if you were looking through the console.
Let's just keep scrolling tell you about so those where your logs are and then your stats.
So we've got processor usage, memory and network traffic all listed here, and then you've got the
ability to look at it over a period of time, weeks or days.
That shows you kind of my spike here of where I've been using my server this afternoon.
Going further down, we've got our accounts for our directory services here, so I've got my user account
here.
I don't have any custom groups.
So going down a profile manager, we'll we'll talk more about profile manager in a future lesson.
That's where this is at.
Currently it's turned off.
And then under Advanced, we've got Xang.
And I'm not using a Fibre Channel card in this Mac.
And this is really outside of the scope of this course.
So I'm not really going to dive into Xand here at all.
If you're if you're using Xang, there's plenty of resources out online that will show you how to use
that or how to set it up.
So that's the basic overview of the interface for Mac OS server.
