You can administer Mac OS X Server from another networked computer that meets the system requirements of Server Admin. The computer must have a valid IP address and a TCP/IP route to the server. Firewalls and router configuration may prevent you from administering Mac OS X Server from some locations on the Internet, or on your network. If you suspect this is an issue, check with your Internet service provider or network administrator.
System Requirements for Server Admin
The remote admin computer must have Mac OS X 10.0.2 or later. If you have Mac OS X 10.0.2, you should update to Mac OS X 10.0.3 or later at your next opportunity. You may find software updates at
