Disabling the Client Software

You may want to temporarily disable Apple Remote Desktop on a client without
removing the software.

To disable the client software on a client computer:

1

On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.

If necessary, enter the user name and password of a user with administrator privileges
on that computer.

2

Deselect Apple Remote Desktop in the Sharing pane.

3

Quit System Preferences.

Apple Remote Desktop is now disabled and the underlying software is deactivated.

Alternately, you can disable only the administrator privileges by doing the following:

a

Click Access Privileges.

b

Deselect each user account that you enabled for Apple Remote Desktop
administration.

c

Click OK.

d

Quit System Preferences.

WARNING:

Because Apple Remote Desktop is part of the default Mac OS X 10.3 and

10.4 installation, do not remove the Apple Remote Desktop client components.
