Preparing Mac OS X 10.2 Clients for Administration
To prepare a client for administration, after installing or updating the Apple Remote
Desktop client software on the computer, you activate ARD and grant access privileges
to the computer by using the ARD pane of the computer’s System Preferences. If you
chose to have the privileges set and ARD enabled when you created the custom
installer package, your computers are already prepared.
Note: You can skip this step if you create a custom installer that automatically enables
your desired client settings.
If you did not create an ARD user login or define ARD administrator access privileges
when you created the custom installer package, you need to configure your clients. You
set access privileges separately for each user account on the computer for which you
want the ARD administrator to be able to log in and take command of the computer.
Follow the steps in this section to set access privileges on each client computer that
uses Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
To make changes on a Mac OS X client, you must have the name and password of a
user with administrator privileges on that computer.
