Apple Remote Desktop

Is there a way to use Apple Remote Desktop from a teacher station to auto log in an entire lab of computers. I haven't used ARD in years, but feel this used to be an option. I see the option to log off all the controlled computers, but not to auto-log in. The lab computers are all using Monterey and the latest version of ARD. The lab is used by different groups, with different local logins for their students. But the local login on each computer is different for each group. Not using network accounts in any of these situations.

Apple Remote Desktop Hi! I am hoping someone can help me with some advice about Apple Remote Desktop please. My parents both have Macs, and although their computers are easy to use, they get into a pickle with them from time to time. They call on me for help, but I live 800 km away, and it's a bit of a nightmare trying to discuss each step over the phone. I am looking for a product that will enable me to remotely access their computers, so that I can fix things when they go wrong. I need to see their desktops and be able to control them temporarily. It seems that Apple Remote Desktop would enable me to do this, but only if we are on the same network. Is that correct? If Apple Remote Desktop isn't the right product, would you recommend any others that are safe and easy to use?

Installing TeamViewer on MacOS Monterey 12.6.3 In the App store on my MacBook Pro, I am given the message that TeamViewer is available only on iPhones or iPads. Is there comparable (free or inexpensive) remote access software? I need to remotely access my 89-year old mom's MacBook Pro sometimes to assist her.

Mac's remote desktop from iPad Sharing Mac's desktop to an iPad is an extremely handy feature and was for me the determinant factor to buy the latter. However, is there a way, using native tools (e.g. not VNC/TV/AD and the likes), to initiate this sharing from the iPad, as long as it becomes a trusted device for the Mac? Since I can have a remote command-line shell to the Mac from the iPad, is there perhaps a command as an alternative way to achieve this? As it is now, if the connection breaks for any reason, I have to go back to the Mac and perform there the appropriate actions to share its desktop again. It's not too far, but at times it can be inconvenient.
