aaard 3.4 & OS 10.6.6 BUGGY!!!!
ARD will just, for no apparent reason, decide to drop all the connections to the remote systems. They sometimes show as the light blue with "Screen sharing available", sometimes they just show black (no connection) and, rarely, they will come back after several minutes. Quitting ARD and trying to restart it will wither come up with the ARD window showing all the the remotes still not connected or will give me a error window that there is a problem with the installation and it can not start. It suggests reinstalling ARD. Then again sometimes it will restart normally.
If I can not get a usable ARD by quitting and reopening it, I have to do a full shut down (not even a restart will bring it back sometimes) of the entire computer. Reinstalling ARD 3.4 Admin does nothing to solve the problem.
All remotes are now at ARD 3.4 Client. The server is a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core Intel Xeon with 8 Gigs of RAM Software build is Server 10J567
Sometimes when ARD is running it is lower than I have ever seen. It may take three or four minutes to do a scan of a 255 address network range. When it decides it wants to stop running, trying a scan of a network range shows the spinning wheel but absolutely no systems located. The scan comes up completely blank and the wheel will stop after a minute or so.
ARD 3.4 ran fine for two or three days after installation but since then the problems have just kept coming and coming.
My feeling is that Apple really "screwed the pooch" when they came up with this update!
Anyone else having these kinds of problems and if so, what did you do to quash them?
