A server is defined as a machine that has one or more of the Zimbra service packages installed. During the installation, the Zimbra server is automatically registered on the LDAP server. When you select servers from the navigation pane, a list of servers displays. When you select Edit for a server, the content pane displays a set of tabs that show the configuration for the server.
Servers are registered during the installation process. You can edit a server's records but you cannot add or delete servers.
Note: To add server records, use the CLI zmprov command. See the Administration Guide for details.
