The DayZ Mod Game Server Admin Commands  are controlled through a few different ways.  Let’s identify the Server Admin/RCON Guides and how to use them:

• #1 – In-Game Server Admin Commands *How To Instructions*
• #2 - In-Game Server RCON Commands *How To Instructions*
• #3 - Configure Server FTP Settings *How To Instructions*
• #4 - Configure  Settings Through Control Panel *4-1-1 Read Only*

These methods are very important to the Server Admins. We will start with DayZ Mod Server Admin Commands, then get into RCON Commands, FTP Settings, and Configuring through Game Control Panel. Let the help begin…

In-Game Server Admin Commands

To access and log-in for DayZ Game Server Admin Controls, simply click “M” or go to the Control Settings. Before connecting to the server, you can Log-in as Admin simply by clicking “server control” and enter admin password.

How To Use Server Admin Commands In The Game: Click Servers in the menu by pressing “M” for Map, and at the Top-Left corner of your screen, you will see a Server Control section where you can log-in as an Admin. Enter your Admin Log-In Password (assuming you had already setup an Admin Password). You have a few options which are;  Kick, Ban, and Server Restart.

These are the simple commands you can use in-game, and they’re very limited access compared to the ability of having DayZ Server RCON Commands.

DayZ Server RCON Commands

The DayZ BattleEye (BEServer) RCON Commands have a better approach to more admin power and user functionality for server administrators. The DayZ in-game admin controls have limited usage to only four different commands. Installing the DayZ Server RCON will enable you to have more functionality. If your server host or your box is not setup with it, please read our instructions here about setting up rcon on a dayz server.

How To Use RCON Commands: Press the chat key ( default Key is: / ).
This will allow you to input the line of commands into the chat window and confirm using the enter key. You also must use the # character before each command that you plan to use with your Administrator RCON access. This is a big help to use server commands since most admins need help figuring it out.
