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.

9. Enabling ARD Client Once Sharing is open, highlight Apple Remote Desktop and click the Access Privileges button.

10. Enabling ARD Client Be sure that the administrative user account is checked and that all of the other checkboxes are filled in to allow for full ARD functionality.

11. ARD to the New Xserve at your School The new Xserve that was installed at your school with ARD enabled. Email Dan (fosterd6@k12tn.net) and he can send you the Username and Password to log in as well as the IP address of the new server.

12. Connecting ARD to remote client After installing ARD on your administrative computer, click the ARD icon and you will see the Remote Desktop Scanner View. This will show all of the computers that have ARD client enabled.

13. Adding a computer by IP Next click the part that says All Computers on the left side to begin the setup.

14. Adding a computer by IP In the Menu click File and scroll down to Add by Address. In the Menu click File and scroll down to Add by Address.

15. Adding a computer by IP A dialog box will appear that will let you enter the IP address of the computer or server that you want to administer. If we send you the User name and Password for the login, then enter these in the appropriate box.
