The Main Server contains the MySQL database that supports the Workbench operations and provides the required network services DHCP and PXE. It is also the repository for the Workbench software that is loaded by the clients and for the iOS firmware files that are used to erase and upgrade Apple devices.

The Main Server Console is the software component to operate the main server, making it easy for any user to verify the status of the services, and stop or restart them as required. The Main Server Console also allows you to send one of these commands to all the connected clients at once:

It also includes utilities to export and import OS images, and to back up and restore the database, so no other external tools must be installed and operated on the server.
