Mac OS X Lion Server For Dummies®

About This Book

Mac OS X Lion Server For Dummies takes you through the steps required to get your users doing amazing and productive things. I provide step-by-step procedures to accomplish specific tasks, such as configuring an e-mail server and setting up user accounts. In some instances, I also describe how to set up your users' Macs or Windows PCs to work with the server.

This book also introduces you to the tools that Apple provides with the server and the best ways to use them. With some of Lion Server's features, there are just too many options and network configurations to take you through every possible scenario. The book considers the most common scenarios and describes the best practices you should adopt.

I also describe the new features in Lion Server that you'll want to know about (trust me on this). I've peppered the chapters with plenty of tips and tricks that will help you become proficient.

I'm a fan of the English language, so I favor it over the technobabble found in much of computing. (Although the term Uniform Resource Locator may mean something specific to software engineers, Web address works just fine in the real world.) Where the technobabble is unavoidable, I provide explanations. You will not, however, find the word empower in this book. A writer can be pushed only so far.
