Disabling the Client Software
You may want to temporarily disable Apple Remote Desktop on a client without removing the software.
|
WARNING: Because Apple Remote Desktop is part of the default Mac OS X v10.3, v10.4, and v10.5 installation, do not remove the Apple Remote Desktop client components. |
- On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.
If necessary, click the lock and enter the user name and password of a user with administrator privileges on that computer.
- Deselect Remote Management in the Sharing pane.
If the client computer is running Mac OS X version 10.4 or earlier, deselect Apple Remote Desktop in the Sharing pane.
- Quit System Preferences.
Apple Remote Desktop is now disabled and the underlying software is deactivated.
To disable only the administrator privileges:
- Select Remote Management in the Sharing pane.
- Select "Only these users."
- Select each user account that you enabled for Apple Remote Desktop administration and click Remove (-).
- Quit System Preferences.
