Stopping Clients from Uploading Reports to Specic Administrator
Computers
Every client computer has a list of administrator computers that it uploads reports to.
If an administrator computer no longer exists, you can stop the client computer from
uploading reports to that computer.
If you stop the client from uploading reports to a specic administrator computer, but
that administrator computer tries to connect to the client, the administrator computer
will resume receiving reports.
To stop clients from uploading reports to a specic administrator computer
1 Select one or more computers.
2 Choose File > Get Info.
3 Select the Administrators tab and click the Edit button.
This list shows all computers that administer the client and task servers associated with
the administrator computers. The status indicator indicates whether the administrator
computer is currently authenticated with the client.
4 Select an administrator computer in the list and click Remove (–).
You can’t remove administrator computers that are currently authenticated with
the client.
5 Click Done.
Working with Scheduled Tasks
You can use Apple Remote Desktop to automate and schedule almost any task. For
example, you can make sure a particular application or a specic set of fonts is always
available on a client computer by setting Remote Desktop to copy applications and
fonts to the client every night.
When you schedule an automated task, information about the scheduled task is saved
on the administrator computer. At the appointed time, the client software on that
computer activates and initiates the task. Remote Desktop must be open to perform a
scheduled task.
