Resuming a failed server setup from Server Assistant E-mail
Written by Lance Ogletree

Recently I was performing a re-install of Mac OS X Server on one of our test Xserves.
While using Server Assistant to perform the remote software setup, the process hung during the verification of the
serial number. After force quiting the Server Assistant, subsequent attempts to setup the server would fail because
the remote server was still reporting to Server Assistant that a remote setup was still in progress and would not
allow me to continue where I left off. Even after a reboot, Server Assistant would not allow the setup to continue.


In order to recitfy this issue, I ssh'd into the remote server and found that in /System/Library/ServerSetup/ there was
a file called .RemoteSetupInProcess .
Deleting this file allowed Server Assitant to once again perform a remote setup on the server..
