In Mac OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Essential Training, server expert Sean Colins shows how to set up a brand-new server or migrate existing data to a new Snow Leopard Server installation. The course explains how to build a custom image that will automatically set up hundreds of client machines using the System Image Utility, and how to establish groups using the Workgroup Manager. Each chapter demonstrates how to set up a different server option, including mail, calendaring, and printing, services required in most office environments, but the course also shows features unique to Snow Leopard like Podcast Producer and Wiki Server. The course finishes with a demonstration of how to use Time Machine with an Open Directory archive to backup corporate data. Exercise files accompany this course.
