Encryption and Remote Management

Hey All:
Hope you all having a good New Year so far.
Just a quick question for anyone that may know. I am wondering if
ZenWorks
will encrypt Remote View and Remote Control by default. I looked in my
manuals but wasn't able to find anything yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Great, thanks for the help Shaun.

Screen sharing and remote management no longer working after some uptime

Server is withoiut monitor.
Users need to login via screen sharing from time to time.
"Enable screen sharing and remote management" is ticked in Server.app everything is working fine (for days, weeks).
ARD reports "Screen Sharing Available", so remote management is not running how it should.
Screen Sharing.app is "Connecting…" forever.
Kickstarting ARD (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370) does not help.
Restart fixes it.
Is there a workaround (over ssh) or a fix?

Off-hand, no. I don't. See this posting, or as would be typical in any case, try it?

Screen Sharing and Remote Management

Is there a way in 10.6 to make both Screen Sharing and Remote Management run at the same time?
In the past (10.5), you could convince Mac OS to run both Screen Sharing and Remote Management to run simultaneously. I say "convince" because you could not enable them both through System Preferences. You could turn one on, then use Terminal to enable the other. This worked great for me, because I needed remote management for the machines I managed, and the users need screen sharing to work from home.
However, the work-around for 10.5 no longer seems to work for 10.6. Has any one gotten this to work yet for 10.6? Thanks!

I figured this out. First enable Remote Management via System Preferences. Then create /private/etc/ScreenSharing.launchd with 'enabled' as it's contents.

What's the difference between Screen Sharing and Remote Management?

As the title asks. What is the difference between the two?
Because heres the thing. I set Screen Sharing on in Sharing. Then a few days later I will go back to the Sharing preferences and instead of Screen Sharing being checked. Remote Management is now checked, not Screen Sharing. What's the deal? Is that normal?
I was wondering if it was because I log into my iMac sometimes using my iPhone with that Mocha VNC program. Its the only program I use to remotely control my computer. Is that it?
Any help I can get is appreciated! Thanks!

Remote Management provides support for the additional functionality of Apple Remote Desktop as compared to a standard VNC setup. The options are otherwise identical.

OIM and Remote Manager

Do you know if out of the box connectors bundled(9.0.4.1) are supported using Remote Manager?
Remote Manager and OIM Server are in a different location
Regards

The majority of the out of the box connectors don't require (or use) remote managers. There are a few exceptions, typically when the target systems don't have network aware libraries available at all or on all the operating systems that the OIM server supports.
You can't use a non-remote manager connector via remote manager as there are required changes in both the forms and the underlying adapter code.

ZCM 10.3.1 and remote management from Opensuse 11.3

Hi,
I am have finally started to test ZCM as I am a die hard ZEN 7.0 fan...
Anyhow I like the concept of being able to remote control from Linux.
However I am running 64bit OpenSuse. Anyone know how I can get this
working?
Every time I try to remote manage it tells me to install the remote
management viewer(from Linux) It works fine from Windows
The install seems to install correctly.
Anyone know what I have done wrong or what I need to do to get this to
work..
Oh I also run KDE4
Thanks

Yeah figured that was going to be the answer. I installed the glitz
package, but it doesn't work. Oh well just thought I would see if
anyone else has it working, I have a SLES 11 server we run FreeNX on, so
I guess we can use that..

Remote Apple Events and Remote Management

Good day: Simple question - I discovered that RAE and RM were both on in my Sharing prefs; I did not turn them on. Can an application turn them on automatically, or was someone spying?

Your text is not clear: you wish to connect to the internet, and you cannot do that? or you want to share your internet connection, to be used by other computers, and you do not know how to do this?
The title of your thread indicates the latter (this is the meaning of share), but your text rather indicates the former situation.
In order to share net, you must first mac connected to the net up and running, but I understand you did not get to that point, right?
Please be clear.

Difference between remote management and vnc

Difference between remote management and vnc

By VNC I will presume you mean 'Screen Sharing'.
Screen Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing is purely for remote control and is based on the VNC protocol with a few extra features added by Apple.
Remote Management in System Preferences does everything Screen Sharing does and is fully compatible with another Mac doing just Screen Sharing, i.e. it allows remote control. However it can also do additional things. It is intended for use with Apple's Remote Desktop Administration software which can use this to send files to a Mac, send (Unix) commands to a Mac and ask for a report from the Mac (e.g. how much RAM it has).
If you don't have Apple Remote Desktop there is no real point enabling Remote Management instead of Screen Sharing.
Both Screen Sharing and Remote Management can also be configured to allow 100% standard VNC connectivity from say a PC, as standard they only accept connections from Macs.

System preferences, sharing, remote management?

Hello,
Could someone tell me where I can find more information of how to use remote management that is under system preferences, sharing. What is the difference between screen sharing and remote management? It will be a great help as I am learning my way round my mybook and this feature would be of great help.
Thanks!

Hi Allan,
Open System Preferences (Applications folder) and click the Sharing icon. Very bottom right of that window click the ? mark. That will prompt the Help Viewer for the Sharing preferences. You can type in keywords at the top of that window in the search field. Example: Remote Management
Mac OS X: About File Sharing

Back to My Mac / Remote Management / Screen Sharing

I'm managing computers for my family spread across 3 states. I would love to get screen sharing working but it's just not happening. I've tried the steps in the following KB article and that's allowed me to access two mini servers (one 10.7 and one 10.6.8) at home. However, I can't access a MBP at home and I can't access my family's computers (via screen sharing) at all. Here's the KB article...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3486
Here's all I'm seeing (5 computers are "missing")
I've tried NAT port forwarding (Airport Extreme/Time Capsule) for "Apple Remote Desktop" to the computers internal IPs on ports 5900 & 3283. I've tried it without. I've tried both "Screen Sharing" and "Remote Management" in preferences. I've made sure I have my own account with admin privledges on all machines etc. This is, of course, all peppered with the occasionaly outburst of foul language...
What am I missing?

Spoke with Apple who spoke with Apple and so on. Tech support for Apple Desktop Remote acknowledges (as best they could) that there is a bug/ problem. Yes, reverting to an older (3.5 - 3.4 ARDagent) solves the problem (short term ?). They captured my OS info and will get back to me in 3-5 days - how do you like them apples! So, revert to ARDagent 3.4 and you can remote connect - may try this later... will post if it works. Here's what's been posted on this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192451?start=0&tstart=0

E4200V2 Remote Management is inoperative

Remote Management does not work on this router. Version of firmware is reported to be current (no update available). The user guide says click on administration and then Management, find Remote Management and Select remote management and select enabled... However in the "Linksys Smart WiFi" interface there is selection for management and remote management.. Firmware is 2.1.39.!
It is a real problem when a router can not be managed remotely!!!

Linksys routers with Smart Wi-Fi Interface can be accessed remotely through www.linksyssmartwifi.com once you have signed-up for a Smart Wi-Fi account using your email address. This actually make things easy for us since we don’t need to set-up remote management anymore in order to remote access our routers.

How to assign OIM Remote Manager as a service on Win 2003 ?

I want to assign OIM Remote Manager as a service on Win 2003. I've used instsrv.exe to install srvany.exe and configured Parameters-Application, Parameters-AppDirectory and Parameters-AppParameters string values using parameters from remotemanager.bat file. I've obviously make same configuration mistakes because when I try to start service which I create, I can't see any new java application and Remote Manager log stays calm.
Would you please give me advices how to configure Windows registry to start Remote Manager as a service.
Regards
VeePee

Hi folks,
I am a little bit confused about this.
The metalink note explains how to convert remote manager to a windows service using the java service wrapper (and noted that this approach applies to version 9.0.1)
It is explicitly declared that OIM’s Remote Manager can run as a Windows Service in OIM 9.1 datasheet (see: http://www.oracle.com/global/kr/download/pdf/ofm/OIM_DATASHEET.PDF) but admin/install guides does not include any configuration guidance about how to do it.
Is there an easier way for v 9.1 to install remote manager as a service or do we use Java Service Wrapper method for this version also ??
cheers

Reg : OIM Remote Manager

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me how to call OIM Remote Manager from a Java program?
Thanks in Advance.
SP

- You would require to create Remote type functional tasks inside any adapter task for any of the adapters you create, these remote tasks are actually executed remotely.
- In addition to it make sure that you have placed the jar files which holds the java logic in both the OIM and Remote Manager location.
- Configuration of Remote Manager should be intact as per documentation.
Thanks
Sunny

Remote Management and Windows VNC clients

Hey guys,
I recently had a go at getting the built-in VNC server in Leopard (as part of remote management) up and running.
Remote control works flawlessly from other Macs, but it refuses connections to Windows clients most of the time (throws up errors like 'Error waiting for server message' or something).
Any ideas? I thought it might have something to do with the Windows client not understanding the encryption, but haven't found any way to change security settings.
Thanks in advance!

Have you giving the server a VNC password?
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management -> Computer Settings -> VNC viewers may control screen with password: xxxxxxx
What VNC client are you using on Windows. Not all VNC clients are created equal? I know about TightVNC (which has been reported to work), RealVNC, and UltraVNC are 3 that I've heard about.
You can also install your own VNC server (in parallel using a different port or instead of the Mac OS X VNC). Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) has been used successfully for years. After all not all VNC servers are created equal either

Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

Hello all
I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual key
mapping field that you never see in the MDM Client.
This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
for viewing and editing value pairs.
Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

Not sure search i think not possible.
But you can see keys as mentioned:
Enable Key mapping in Console.
MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.
BR,
Alok
