Key Snow Leopard Server Information to Save
The Mac OS X Server Installation & Setup Worksheet that comes with Snow Leopard software has space for information regarding every possible configuration, but it's really long. Here’s the core information that everyone should have written down somewhere, both before and after you install:
Hardware numbers of the server Mac: Serial number and MAC address (also called Ethernet ID).
Administrator account info: Your short username, your password, and the domain name that you use during installation.
Internet connection information: Router’s IP address, the IP range of your subnet, and the subnet mask; PPPoE account and password if your server is connecting directly (not through a router) to your Internet service provider.
Server’s static IP address: Record for each Ethernet port.
Server’s hostname: This is what you enter during installation.

Snow Leopard Server Keyboard Tips for Windows Users
There are several keyboard and mouse actions that you use frequently in Snow Leopard Server’s administration tools. Mac users may be familiar with these techniques, but they may be new to Windows users:
Make multiple selections in a list:
Shift-click lets you select a range of items at once. Click an item to select it and then Shift-click another item; all the items in between will be selected.
Command-click lets you add items to those you selected, in any order.
To right-click, hold down Control while clicking. Or, use a mouse with two or more buttons. On a Mac notebook, click the trackpad with two fingers to right-click.
When you close the window in Server Preferences and System Preferences, the application quits. However, closing windows doesn’t quit the app for Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, and iCal Server Utility (and any application that can have more than one window open). Use Command-Q to quit these applications.
System Preferences is the equivalent of the Windows Control Panel. It holds settings (such as IP addresses) for the individual machine hosting the server. Server Preferences is for configuring and managing services and user accounts.
