20 Chapter 1 Introducing Mac OS X Server
Server Configurations
Leopard Server offers several options for setting up your server to suit your
circumstances. The table on the next page lists some reasons for choosing each of the
following configurations:
 Standard: A simplified configuration ideal for the first server or only server in a small
organization
 Workgroup: An easy-to-use setup ideal for a workgroup in an organization with an
existing directory server
 Advanced: A flexible configuration ideal for advanced, highly customized
deployments
You can change a standard configuration to a workgroup configuration by connecting
the server to a directory server in your organization. Conversely, you can change from
workgroup to a standard configuration by disconnecting the server from the directory
server. You can also convert to advanced from standard or workgroup (but not the
reverse, except by reinstalling Leopard Server). For information about changing
configurations, see “Connecting to a Directory Server” on page 135 and Server
Administration (described in “Mac OS X Server Administration Guides” on page 144).
