Apple Remote Desktop

1
Apple Remote Desktop

• Hey! I got some new software for my school. For
  free. For what?

2
Apple Remote Desktop(aka ARD)
3
You have ARD, what is it?

• Apple Remote Desktop is a program that will allow
  a person to administer another computer from the
  comfort of their very own desktop machine.

4
Why do I need ARD?

• Your copy or ARD was bought with the new OSX
  server that was installed in your school. Many
  of the cabinets did not have a way to hook up to
  the monitor in your server cabinet. ARD will
  allow you to administer your server without the
  benefit of a monitor.

5
Computer and Server Administration

• One can administer their OSX servers and other
  OSX computers from ARD. One can share files and
  load software using ARD.

6
About Your ARD

• Your copy or ARD is an unlimited license. This
  means that you can install it on ONE (1, Uno) OSX
  computer and administer an unlimited number of
  computers. It should be installed on a OS 10.4
  computer that the BLTC has access to.

7
Other stuff

• In order to administer another computer or
  server, the remote desktop client service must be
  enabled on the machine(s) that you want to
  administer. (ARD client is built into OSX
  computers.)

8
Enabling ARD Client

• In System Preferences, click the Sharing Icon.

  Desktop and click the Access Privileges button.

  checked and that all of the other checkboxes are
  filled in to allow for full ARD functionality.
