Hi,
I installed Apple Remote Desktop on the intended Server (iMac running Sierra).
I would like to connect to it from my laptop (Macbook Air running Sierra).
How do I launch the Apple Remote Desktop Client application on my Macbook Air? I don't see anything anywhere in Applications or Utilities.
Where is the application located?
Thank you!
iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
The Apple Remote Desktop package is installed on the client systems, and not on the server.
If the goal is screen sharing and not the other functions of Apple Remote Desktop, then the purchase is probably unnecessary.
macOS contains both a functional screen sharing client — providing analogous capabilities to what Apple Remote Desktop provides there — as well as the necessary screen sharing server package.
Apple Remote Desktop adds a number of features to the integrated screen sharing client, including ways to maintain lists of credentials for multiple target systems, as well as the ability to push out shell commands without invoking ssh from your own scripts, for instance. It's rather more than screen sharing.
Kickstart is useful when you need to gain access to a system (macOS client or macOS with Server.app installed) before you can configure and launch the ARDagent screen sharing server yourself. It's a way to get the ARDagent screen sharing server running on the target system, usually starting that ARDagent software from the command line. That then gives the Apple Remote Desktop client on your Mac or the screen sharing client on your Mac something to connect into.
It's in System/Library/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent but cannot be used without ARD Admin.
Is there any way to launch it? I can't even see it.
I have ARD running on the host, but just do not see a way to launch a client on my macbook air.
Thanks MrHoffman!
Yes, it seems that Apple Remote Desktop is different than it once was. We ended up returning the ARD app and going with teamviewer.
Cheers!
