Setup Checklist
 Check firewall and network settings on the Task Server computer.
 The Task Server needs to have either a manual IP address or a DHCP-assigned static
address.
 The Task Server needs to allow connections on TCP and UDP ports 3283 and 5900.
 Install Remote Desktop with an Unlimited Managed Systems license on the
dedicated Task Server computer.
 If Remote Desktop is being launched for the first time on this computer, you can
enable the Task Server in Setup Assistant. Otherwise, continue.
 Start the Task Server running on the computer. You can skip this step if you have set
up the Task Server settings in the Setup Assistant.
 Go to Preferences > Task Server, and select “Use Task Server on this computer.”
 If another computer is going to administer the Task Server, select “Allow remote
connections to this server.”
 Quit the copy of Remote Desktop running on the Task Server, if desired.
 If the administrator computer is not the Task Server computer, install Remote
Desktop with an Unlimited Managed Systems license on the administrator’s
computer.
 Set up Remote Desktop to use the remote Task Server.
 Go to Remote Desktop > Preferences > Task Server, and select “Use remote Task
Server.”
 Enter the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the Task Server, and click
Select.
 Set the default data upload settings for newly added clients to upload to the Task
Server on a schedule.
 Check that each client (or the client network segment) is accessible by the Task
Server.
 Install or activate Apple Remote Desktop sharing on the clients.
 Add the clients to Remote Desktop’s All Computers list.
 If you have existing clients in a list, you will need to change their Task Server report
data upload settings, so that they upload to the Task Server on a schedule.
