Logging Out the Current User
Apple Remote Desktop can log out the current user on a client computer. Other users,
besides the current active user, who are logged in using Fast User Switching are not
logged out using this command. Using this command returns the client computer to
the login window.
To log out a user:
1 Select a computer list.
2 Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3 Choose Manage > Logout Current User.
4 Select the type of logout.
You can allow users to save files or cancel the logout, or you can force an immediate
logout, which will cause the users to lose unsaved changes to any open files.
5 Click Logout User.
Restarting a Computer
Apple Remote Desktop can restart a client computer. This has the same result as
choosing the Restart command from the client computer’s Apple menu.
This feature is especially useful when used with the Install Packages command. Install
Packages doesn’t restart the computer, even if the package requires it. You must restart
the computer using ARD after installing a package.
To restart a computer:
1 Select a computer list.
2 Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3 Choose Manage > Restart.
4 Select the type of restart.
You can allow users to save files or cancel the restart, or you can force an immediate
restart, which will cause the users to lose unsaved changes to any open files.
5 Click Restart.
