Starting Up a Computer
Apple Remote Desktop can start up clients that support lights-out management
(LOM). Unlike waking up computers, this doesn’t rely on the wakeonlan network
packet, and allows you to start computers on a dierent subnet.
By default, after selecting a computer list with at least one client that supports LOM, a
new status column named “LOM Status” appears. The LOM status shows which of your
clients support LOM, and if they’re congured to allow LOM administration.
The LOM status can be:
LOM Status Description
Available The client supports LOM and is congured for
administration. You can only start up clients with
a LOM status of “Available.”
Not Congured The client supports LOM, but isn’t congured for
administration.
Access Denied The client supports LOM, but your login name or
password is invalid.
Oine The client supports LOM, but isn’t reachable over
the network.
- The client doesn’t support LOM.
-- It isn’t yet known if the client supports LOM.
To start up a computer:
1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2 If you’re trying to start up a computer with a LOM status of “Access Denied,” select the
computer and choose File > Get Info. In Attributes, click Edit. Enter the administrator’s
name and password for LOM, and click Done.
By default, the LOM administrator’s name and password is the same as the one used
for Remote Desktop Management. However, you can use the Get Info window to
change the LOM administrator’s name and password.
3 Select one or more computers from the list with a current status of “Powered O.”
4 Choose Manage > Power On.
5 Click Power On.
