Mac OS X Server
Encyclopedia
Mac OS X Server is a Unix
server operating system
from Apple Inc. The server
edition of Mac OS X
is architecturally
identical to its desktop counterpart, except that it includes work group management and administration software tools. These tools provide simplified access to key network service
s, including a mail transfer agent
, AFP
and SMB
servers, an LDAP server, a domain name server
, and others. Also included (particularly in later versions) are numerous additional services and the tools to manage them, such as web server
, wiki
server, chat server, calendar server, and many others.
Mac OS X Server is the operating system of Xserve
computers, rack mounted
server computers designed by Apple. Also, it is optionally preinstalled on the Mac mini
and Mac Pro
and is sold separately for use on any Macintosh
computer meeting its minimum requirements.
As of Mac OS X Lion
, there is no separate server variant of ; the apps are offered as an add-on package sold through the Mac App Store

foundation called Darwin
and uses open industry standards and protocols.
Mac OS X Server includes services and applications for file sharing, sharing contact information and calendars, schedule events, send secure instant messages, conduct live video conferences, send and receive email, contribute to and comment in wikis, publish a company-wide blog, produce and distribute podcasts, and set up websites.
. Mac OS X Server 1.0 - 1.2v3 were based on Rhapsody, a hybrid of OPENSTEP
from NeXT Computer and Mac OS 8.5.1
. The GUI
looked like a mixture of Mac OS 8's Platinum appearance with OPENSTEP's NeXT
-based interface. It included a runtime layer called Blue Box for running legacy Mac OS-based applications within a separate window. There was discussion of implementing a 'transparent blue box' which would intermix Mac OS applications with those written for Rhapsody's Yellow Box environment, but this would not happen until Mac OS X
's Classic environment. Apple File Services, Macintosh Manager, QuickTime Streaming Server, WebObjects
and NetBoot
were included with Mac OS X Server 1.0 - 1.2v3. It could not use firewire devices.
Mac OS X Server 10.0 included the new Aqua user interface
, Apache
, PHP
, MySQL
, Tomcat
, WebDAV
support, Macintosh Manager and NetBoot
.
The 10.2 Mac OS X Server release includes updated Open Directory
user and file management, which with this release is based on LDAP
, beginning the deprecation of the NeXT-originated NetInfo
architecture. The new Workgroup Manager interface improved configuration significantly. The release also saw major updates to NetBoot
and NetInstall. Many common network services are provided such as NTP
, SNMP
, web server (Apache
), mail server (Postfix
and Cyrus), LDAP (OpenLDAP
), AFP
, and print server. The inclusion of Samba version 3 allows tight integration with Windows
clients and servers. MySQL
v4.0.16 and PHP
v4.3.7 are also included.
The 10.3 Mac OS X Server release includes updated Open Directory
user and file management, which with this release is based on LDAP

The 10.4 release adds 64-bit
application support, Access Control Lists, Xgrid
, link aggregation
, e-mail spam
filtering (SpamAssassin
), virus detection (ClamAV), Gateway Setup Assistant, and servers for Software Update, iChat Server
using XMPP
, Boot Camp Assistant, Dashboard and weblogs.
On August 10, 2006 Apple announced the first Universal Binary
release of Mac OS X Server, version 10.4.7, supporting both PowerPC and Intel processors. At the same time Apple announced the release of the Intel-based Mac Pro
and Xserve
systems.
Released: October 26, 2007
Features
Snow Leopard Server sells for a retail price of $499 and includes unlimited client licenses.
New Features:
Lion Server comes with unlimited client licenses as did Snow Leopard Server.
In releasing the developer preview of OS X 10.7 (Lion)
in February 2011, Apple indicated that beginning with Lion, OS X Server would be bundled with the operating system and would not be marketed as a separate product. However, a few months later, the company said it would instead sell the server components as a US$
49.99 add-on to Lion, distributed through the Mac App Store
(as will Lion itself). The combined cost of an upgrade to Lion and the purchase of the Lion Server components, approximately US$80, will nonetheless be significantly lower than the retail cost of Snow Leopard Server (US$499).
Lion Server will include new versions of iCal Server
, Wiki Server
, and Mail Server. More significantly, Lion Server can be used for iOS mobile device management.
Mac OS X Server comes with a variety of configuration tools that can be installed on non-server Macs as well:
System requirements for Mac OS X Server 10.5 are as follows:
System requirements for Mac OS X Server 10.6 are as follows:
System requirements for Mac OS X Server 10.7 are as follows:
