I reset my password on the server and verified that I can connect (mount a volumne) but when I enter the user name and password after launching Server.app on my laptop (not server computer) it just shakes like the password is wrong.

Are you on the same LAN or remote?
If remote, make sure you have port 687 open.

I'm on the same network. Not remote. Just trying to control from my laptop using Server.app.
Same version of Sever.app on server and on your computer?
Did you try to connect with Server.app from your machine the server using the LAN IP address of the server?
Are you challenged for user/pw?
Walk through, in detail, the process you are using?
And worth mentioning, you can screenshare to the server to manage it.
Me- I prefer that over using Server.app
Yes, same version. I actually copied the Server.app application from the server to my laptop. When the Server.app starts, I click Other Server and select the server from the list. The name and IP are listed and are correct. Im challenged for username and password. I've changed the password for the user on the server which I'm using to login so I know it is correct. Also, the user is set to allow control of the server. Yes, I can screen share using the same user account I'm using to trying to connect using Server.app.
Wayne-
Thanks for the additional info.
I don't run server.app remotely though, so can't offer any experience on this topic.
Maybe logs have a clue? Maybe someone else can chime on.

Did you figure out it was a check box in the Server.app? Settings tab of hostname side menu set.
Why can't I login remotely using Server.app?
