Apple Remote Desktop 1.2 Released

Too bad it wasn't released yesterday, or you could have had a few more pranks to pull on those annoying co-workers."

  1. RealVNC by White+Roses · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I'd really like a RealVNC solution (or compatible) for Mac OS X. I'm using VNCThing to view RealVNC servers from my iMac, but I haven't found much satisfaction in serving VNC off my iMac yet.

    Hints?

  2. Interesting issue upgrading by peaceful_bill · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Hi all

    I have encountered a very interesting problem while upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 ARD. On the main status window, I have client computers that flash in for a few seconds and then dissapear! I have successfully used ARD since September in a lab with 28 flat panel imacs, static IP addresses, and no DHCP.

    Other details: All the machines (including the one's that are errantly popping up my list are on the asme subnet (255.255.0.0). The machines I _want_ to manage are 10.2.4, the ones that are popping on my list are 8.6 and 9. The 8.6 on'es are running under an At Ease environment.

    I have spoken with Apple Tech support, erased my ARD installation using a shell script that Apple provided; I've also erased my com.apple.Remotedesktop.plists's

    When I spoke with Apple, they mentioned that they were aware of a few other people having this problem.

    Any suggestions? Bill
