How to install

For Mac OS X Server 10.4 and later

Update to Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 (either manually or via Software Update), which includes Server Admin Tools 10.4.7.

Mac OS X (client) 10.4 or later

1. If you are using any version from 10.4 to 10.4.6, you should first update to Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later.
2. If you have already installed Server Admin Tools 10.4 or 10.4.4, use Software Update to get Server Admin Tools 10.4.7.
3. If you have not installed a previous version of the admin tools, you can download the full installer here.

Important: If you have moved any of the Server Admin Tools out of their original locations in the (/Applications/Server/) folder, the update may not appear in Software Update at all. Return the Server Admin Tools to their original locations before using Software Update.

Notes

1. Only Mac OS X Server 10.4.4 or later supports Intel NetBoot images. You can't host Intel-based images on Mac OS X Server 10.4.3 or earlier.
2. To administer Mac OS X Server 10.4 from an Intel-based Mac you need to use the Universal Server Admin Tools 10.4.4 or later. Apple does not support or recommend using older Server Admin tools with Rosetta.
