It does seem a little counter intuitive that opening Server.app for the first time requests if you would llike to configure the local machine as a server and the only real options are besically "Yes" or "No" It would be great if there was another option for "Connect to a remote server" that WASN'T burried in the file menu and by a confusing dialogue box. The first time I saw this I said " Yeah! Of course I want to configure Server." and ended up installing (or rather enabling) the services on my MacBook Air. I know many people remotly administer OS X servers and with the oddball way of obtaining Apple's primary tool for server administration (drag and drop it from a copy of OS X Server) it would be great if they could give more information in that priliminary dialogue.


Either way, most of OS X Server's services are already installed and many are even running, the Server.app tool just enables a level of control over those services. So as the article suggests, disabling them is the easiet way to "uninstall" or rather disable what was already there.
