Abstract

The concept of a Mac server has changed quite extensively since the very first version of the software hit the scenes in the late 1990s. In this chapter, we are going to explore the server capabilities that Apple has built into the macOS client operating system, the services that are added when installing the macOS Server application, how to determine if you need a dedicated Mac server, and how to configure and manage the server if you do.
