|  | Restarting a Computer

Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) 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.

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.
