Hi Frank, Usually the checkbox to administer the Server from another Mac is not checked by default. You'll need to go to the Mini, open the Server app and select the server name in the Services table. Stop Interacting with the table, navigate to the Settings button and press it. Interact with the Scroll area and make sure the "Allow Remote Administration using Server" is checked. Now, you should be able to login to the Server from another Mac as long as you either use a local Admin user from the Mini or, if you've set it up as an Open Directory Master, then you should be able to use the Directory Admin user for administering the Server remotely.
So, whether you're logging on from within your LAN or from elsewhere, you are logging on to the Mini, so you need to log in with an account that resides on the Mini. HTH. Later...
