Apple remote desktop and windows

Apple Remote Desktop is the best way to manage the Mac computers on your network. Distribute software, provide real-time online help to end users, create detailed software and hardware reports, and automate routine management tasksall without leaving your desk. Featuring Automator actions and Remote Spotlight search, Apple Remote Desktop makes your job easier than ever.

Apple Remote Desktop is the award-winning OS X desktop management system for software distribution, asset management, and remote assistance. Apple Remote Desktop offers a wide range of high-performance features, including lightning-fast Spotlight searches across multiple systems; more than 40 Automator actions for easy automation of repetitive tasks; and AutoInstall for automatically updating software on mobile systems once they return to the network.

First-class upgrades

Installing software or updates to your network has never been this easy. Take an existing package, from either Apple or a third party, and simply use the Install Package to copy and install on your client computers. And it works with custom install packages as well. Apple Remote Desktop will alert your systems users to upgrades and even restart machines remotely.

AutoInstall allows you to stage software on a Task Server, which then takes care of distributing the packages for installation on client computers. You can even set a schedule for installation to occur at a time that is most convenient for your organization. And if a computer is not on the network, the Task Server will keep track and automatically install the package once the system is online.

Automation for your Mac computers

Those time-consuming administrative tasks will become a thing of the past, thanks to Automator actions in Apple Remote Desktop. To use Automator actions, all you need to do is drag and drop the actions to construct a workflow.

More than 40 Automator actions are included with Apple Remote Desktop, which you can apply to set desktop pictures, Finder preferences, Energy Saver preferences, default time zones, and more.

No need to make house calls

The screen-sharing features of Apple Remote Desktop allow you to provide immediate help to remote users, saving time for both of you. Dont want your admin tasks to be seen? No problem. Turn on Curtain Mode to block the local users view of their desktop. This is perfect when youre updating a public display. Youll have full control of the system, but your work will be hidden from view.

If you need to move files or folders to a single computer, the easy-to-use Remote Drag and Drop copy function makes the job a snap. You can also copy and paste between local and remote systems — no extra steps necessary.

Reporting for duty

Remote Spotlight search takes advantage of one of the most powerful features of OS X. Now you can perform lightning-fast, user-specified searches on remote client systems. Files from the results can be copied to the administrator system for reporting.

Apple Remote Desktop also makes it easy to compile reports on application usage, history, inventory, and more. Hardware reports gather more than 200 attributes about networked Mac systems, while software reports collect information on 16 file system attributes. Inventory reports can be gathered even from mobile systems not connected to the network, and results are stored in the included SQL database for fast access.

Manage computer lists with Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop displays computers in lists in the main window.

You can add computers to a computer list, and then observe them as a group or perform other management tasks. When you perform management tasks on a computer list, the tasks are run on every computer in the list.

The default computer list is called the All Computers list. This is a complete list of all possible clients that you’ve located and authenticated to. You can create as many lists as you want, and add computers to more than one list. Group computers in any way you like—location, functionality, hardware configuration, or even label.

Create a computer list

You can make more specific, targeted lists of computers from your All Computers list.

In Remote Desktop , select the All Computers list in the sidebar of the main window, then select the computers to add to the list.

Choose File > New List From Selection, then name the computer list.

You can also choose File > New List to create a blank list. Then drag computers from the All Computers list, or from scanner search results, to the blank list.

Delete a computer list

You can delete Remote Desktop computer lists and scanner lists that you create.

In Remote Desktop , select the list in the sidebar of the main window, then choose Edit > Delete. You can also press the Delete key.

View and edit computer lists

To view all the computers in a list, select the list in the sidebar. To open a computer list in a separate window, double-click the list.

To edit a list name, click the name and type a new name.

To change which columns you see when viewing a list, Control-click (or right-click) a column header and choose a column to show or hide it. (Columns that are shown have a checkmark.) To rearrange columns, click a column header and drag it.

Create a Smart List

You can create a Smart List, which has computers added to it automatically based on criteria you select. When you create a Smart List, any computer added to the All Computers list (or other specified list) that matches your criteria is added to the Smart List.

You can match any of the following criteria:

Remote Desktop version

Computer is in List

To create a Smart List that includes the computers in another list or lists (except the All Computers list), select the “Computer is in List” criterion and specify the source list.

In Remote Desktop , choose File > New Smart List.

You can also click Add at the bottom of the sidebar, and then choose New Smart List.

Name the Smart List, then choose whether to match “any” or “all” criteria.

Specify the criteria by using the pop-up menus and text fields, click Add to add criteria, then click OK.

Edit a Smart List

You can edit Smart Lists.

In Remote Desktop , select the Smart List in the sidebar of the main window.

Choose File > Edit Smart List, then make your changes. For information about the options you can change, see Create a Smart List.

Create a computer list from existing lists

You can create lists that contain the computers in Smart Lists and other lists. The list that’s created includes the computers from the source lists, but doesn’t indicate what list they came from.

In Remote Desktop , make sure you’ve already created the lists that will serve as the source for the new list.

Create a new Smart List by choosing File > New Smart List.

In the Smart List dialog, choose to match all the stated criteria.

For the first condition, choose “Computer is in List.”

Choose a source list from the pop-up menu.

Click Add to add criteria.

Repeat steps 4–6, adding a separate condition for each source list, then click OK.

Copy computer lists to a new administrator computer

You can copy your existing computer lists to a new administrator computer running Remote Desktop. When you export a computer list, you can choose to include the user name and password used to authenticate each computer in the list. If you choose to include those credentials, you must enter a password to encrypt the file, which has the .ardencryptedplist extension.

If you choose not to include the credentials, the file is save as a standard property list (.plist) file. Once you import an unencrypted computer list file, you’ll need to authenticate to each client computer.

You can only use these instructions to copy computer lists between administrator computers that run Remote Desktop 3.5 or later.

In Remote Desktop , select the list in the sidebar of the main window you want to copy.

Choose File > Export List, then select a name and a location for the exported list.

The default filename is the list name. Changing the filename doesn’t change the list name.

Choose whether to save the credentials and if so, enter a password to protect the file, then click Save.

A file is created in the desired location.

Copy the exported file to the new administrator computer.

On the new administrator computer, open Remote Desktop, then choose File > Import List.

Select the exported list, then click Open.

If necessary, enter the password to decrypt the file.

If you copy the same computer list from one Remote Desktop computer to another, the older list is overwritten by the newer list.

Оценки и отзывы

Как всегда: сначала выпустят, потом доделают

Меняю свой отзыв, так как починили наконец и прога стала заводиться на 10.11.6.
Отдельное спасибо разработчикам — вышли на связь и мы вместе занялись отладкой 🙂

Changing my review because fixed at last and app became launch on 10.11.6.
Special thanks to Rajaram Shetty and others with whom we began to solve the problem 🙂

Ответ разработчика ,

Thanks for the feedback. Please contact us by mailing rdios@microsoft.com. We want to work with you to diagnose this and get you back on track.

Microsoft’овцы скачали 8Gb данных телеметрии за 2 месяца с моего ноутбука?

В последнее время диск ноутбука стал занят «ничем» процентов на 30%. Решив разобраться с «ничем» я нашел среди них 8Гб данных телеметрии о работе программы и бог знает чего еще. В папке

/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.macos/Data/Library/Application\ Support/com.microsoft.rdc.macos/.com.microsoft.rdc.application-data_SUPPORT/ лежат тонны зашифрованных файлов вида CD290736-67BF-4A41-92A9-0E1DD493B02 И это при том, что сама программа занимала 17 мегабайт. Алё, уважаемые «разработчики», Вы там ничего не перепутали, не?

Ответ разработчика ,

То, что вы видите, связано с ошибкой в macOS 10.14. Операционная система не удаляла уменьшенные изображения. Это исправлено в macOS 10.14.1. Закройте клиентское приложение удаленного рабочего стола, а затем удалите все файлы в _EXTERNAL_DATA, чтобы освободить место.

BigSur?

На BigSur не работает (вылетает).
Когда пофиксите?
