Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 - Manual (Page 28)

28 Chapter 2 Setting Up
6 Enter a Remote Desktop password and verify it.
The Remote Desktop password is used to encrypt names and passwords of client
computers for ARD. You can store this password in your keychain for convenience, or
you can require that the password be entered each time you open Remote Desktop.
7 Click Done.
The main application window appears.
If ARD 1.2 was previously installed (or if you transferred computer lists from another
administrator computer), all the existing computer lists are available in the new
window. Update and configure your clients using the instructions in “Upgrading
Existing Client Software On Mac OS X 10.2” on page 29 or “Upgrading Existing Client
Software on Mac OS X 10.3 Using ARD” on page 33.
If no version of ARD was previously installed, you must enable and configure the client
computers before Remote Desktop can administer them.
Uninstalling the Administrator Software
To remove the administrator software completely, you must remove the application,
the encrypted list of computer login names and passwords, and the client information
database.
To remove the administrator software:
1 Drag the Remote Desktop application to the Trash.
2 Empty the Trash.
3 Delete the ARD database from /var/db/RemoteManagement/ using the following
command in the Terminal application:
$ sudo rm -rf /var/db/RemoteManagement
$ sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
$ rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
Setting Up Client Computers With Mac OS X 10.2 Installed
The following section contains information on installing Apple Remote Desktop 2 on
computers running Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. See the appropriate instructions, depending
on whether you’re setting up clients for the first time or upgrading existing ARD clients.
Installing the Client Software on Mac OS X 10.2 for the First Time
To install the client software on the computers you plan to use with Apple Remote
Desktop, use the ARD administration software to create a client software installer. You
need the name and password of a user with administrator privileges on the client
computer to install the package.
