How do i find specific software count on computers in apple remote Desktop

Hi,
Is there a way to find specific software across a range of computers in Apple Remote Desktop? Like Microsoft Office 2011 Mac. 

You can do a File Search for the application name, or all applications by specifying the "kind" as "application".  Note that Office 2011 is not an application but a suite of applications, so you'd have to search for the specific application - Word, for instance.
Regards.

  • How to change order of network ports - unix command in Apple Remote Desktop

    I am trying to do a report of 130 machines and I want the IP addresses included in the report. When I do the report a bunch of them are missing because the only selection is "Primary Network IP" but on many of the machines the order of the network connections is such that PPP is the top and therefor primary connection
    Do you know of a unix command I can send to change the network order so that en0 is primary on all machines?

    Hi Brian
    Issue this command:
    sudo networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder
    This will list the current service order as well as giving you an idea of what name to use for each Service. For example en0 will be Ethernet; en1 will be Airport; fw0 will be Firewire and Bluetooth will be Bluetooth DUN.
    To change the order so as Ethernet will be first rather than Bluetooth for example, followed by Airport, Firewire and Bluetooth issue this command:
    sudo networksetup -ordernetworservices Ethernet Airport Firewire "Bluetooth DUN"
    That should be it. Any Service that has a space within the name has to be escaped hence the double quotes. If you want to change the order to something else then alter the Service order to suit. To see a full list of available commands issue:
    networksetup -help

  • How do I purge old computers in apple remote desktop?

    Greetings,
    I use Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) quite extensively (I work in I.T.). When an employee gets terminated, their equipment will get re-used. However, their computer still shows up in  ARD. Is there a way to purge computers off ARD?

    You should be able to just select the computer(s) in the All Computers list and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

  • How do I search threads within a specific support community, i.e.. Apple Remote Desktop?

    Very frustrated with new layout of discussion forums...
    How do I search key words within threads within a specific support community?
    For Example I want to search the phrase 'couldn't collect' within the Apple Remote Desktop community.

    Thanks for your response. I'm well aware of the global search field.
    My problem with that is if I search the term 'couldn't collect', (in reference to a very specific Error message generated while running a report via Apple Remote Desktop Task Server) I get a slew of useless hits that have either the words 'couldn't' and/or 'collect' or any variation of those words, such as 'collection'.
    I'm looking for responses that are very specific to Apple Remote Desktop only. I don't have hours to weed through thousands of responses that have no bearing to that at all.
    Searching within specific sub-communities was possible before this new layout. Whatever happened to the booelean searches and searching by phrases and the 'advanced' searches? Do they still exist?

  • How to configure apple remote desktop to work on 3g instead of wifi

    Hello,
    Can ARD be used with 3g to access my iMac from my macbook?
    If it can be done, could someone please help with info on how to do this or set it up?
    Thanks a lot..

    when you use ARD at home can it wake the iMac from sleep?
    What do you have the DLINK DIR-615 plugged into? (dsl modem, cable modem, extra)
    So there are a couple ways to connect to a computer behind a router such as the dlink. One option is you configure the iMac to be the DMZ. The nice thing about this is you don't have to configure any ports. the bad thing about this, is any service your hosting on the mac is internet excess-able. the 2nd option is to configure specific ports on your router to be sent to the iMac. This give you more control over what services are access-able on the iMac over the internet; but it's also more work to setup.
    Here is the manual for DLINK DIR-615,
    page 32 explains how to setup a DMZ.
    pages 27 and 28 explains how to setup "port forwarding."
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products. if you chose the port forwarding, you'll probable need to use this document to figure out what ports you need to open. Here are some of the ports you would probable need to open. there would probable be other ports as well.
    3031
    TCP/UDP
    Remote AppleEvents
    eppc
    Program Linking, Remote Apple Events
    3283
    TCP/UDP
    Net Assistant
    net-assistant
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.0 or later (Reporting feature)
    5900
    TCP
    Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
    (Unregistered Use)
    vnc-server
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.0 or later (Observe/Control feature)
    Screen Sharing (Mac OS X 10.5 or later)
    5988
    TCP
    WBEM HTTP
    wbem-http
    Apple Remote Desktop 2.x (see http://www.dmtf.org/about/faq/wbem)
    I'm not sure if the time capsule will be able to wake the computer over the internet; because it's not the router. the DLINK is.
    Keep in mind, that even if you do configure your mac to be reach-able over the internet. Most internet connections change IP address. That's call DHCP. in short it's like trying to reach some one who hangs around different pay phones, but doesn't have a cell phone. In short, you can't really reliably get ahold of such a person.
    If you call your internet provider they can tell you if your internet connection is static or DHCP.
    If it is, there are things you can setup to bridge the gap between static and DHCP. That's called dynamic DNS, But ones you look at the cost of such a service; your probable going to find logmein cheaper, and an easier to configure solution. Because you don't have to mess around with your router, or configure port forwarding, or mess around with dynamic DNS.
    You might even find out to run dynamic DNS your going to have to have your iMac always turn on any way. It's not that hard to configure your imac to be on, but have the screen off.
    good luck

  • How Can I Control a Windows PC from Apple Remote Desktop Please?

    Hello Everybody
    Please excuse my bad English.
    I would like to ask you, how could be possibile setup windows pc (XP or 7) to be controlled by a Mac with Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.2
    I think I have to use VNC, but how can i SETUP to connect XP or 7 to my Mac Apple Remote Desktop in the same LAN?
    Thanks a lot
    Giovanni

    You can use ARD to remote control a windows machines, ARD is built on VNC
    You'll have to install a VNC server on the windows machine you want to access
    You won't be able to use most of the ARD features as they are specific to mac
    You'll be be able to see and control the desktop and that's about it
    You can also find VNC /Remote Desktop apps in the iOS store that will allow remote desktop connection from iPad /iPhone,
    There is a mac version of Microsoft remote desktop in the Mac App Store

  • How can I remotely access my computer from a different location on Apple Remote Desktop?

    I downloaded Apple Remote Desktop and am trying to access our computer at our church that is in the auditorium and work on slides for ProPresenter from my office which is on a different network. The Mac Pro, which is in the auditorium, is connected to a Netgear wireless router. I would also want to be able to have access to observe and control the screen on the Mac Pro whether I am in my office or at my house. I have tried everything from going to portforward.com, followed those instructions, did port forwarding, used ipchicken.com to get my external IP and made sure that the Mac Pro had a static internal IP address and made sure the computer had access for remote management. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Works fine when it is on the same wireless network, but I need access being on a different wireless network. Thanks!

    Hi austinmac14,
    So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
    That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
    If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
    Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
    Open Airport Utility:
    go to the dock
    Click on the finder
    go to the menu bar
    Click on the "Go" menu
    Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
    double Click on "AirPort Utility"
    Access the Base Station:
    Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
    a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
    Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
    Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
    Click on the "DHCP" tab
    For "DHCP Reservations:"  Click on the "+" button
    For the "Description" put "ARD"
    For "Reserve Address by:"  set "DHCP Client ID"
    Click the "Continue" button
    For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
    write down the number in "IPv4" address field
    Click the "Done" Button
    Configure routing to ARD computer:
    Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
    Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
    Click on the "+" button
    for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "Update" button.
    wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
    Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
    Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
    On that computer, Go to the menu bar
    Chose the "Apple" menu bar
    Chose "System Preferences…"
    Click on the "Show All" button
    Click on the "Network" icon
    For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
    Clock on the "Advanced…" button
    Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
    for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
    Click the "OK" button
    Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Find out what your public internet IP address is.
    On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, gotohttp://whatismyipaddress.com/
    when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
    At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
    connect to the internet from another location.
    open Apple Remote Desktop
    go to the file menu
    chose connect to computer using ip address
    set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
    use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
    So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
    Also some network connections change.  When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
    Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
    Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
    ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
    This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

  • How can I deploy my AAMEE without Apple Remote Desktop?

    Hi everyone,
    I created a build for Adobe CS6 Production Premium for Mac with the serial number embedded, along with the current updates. All is well with that; however, this is the issue that I am having:
    I have tried to test the build on a local machine (the computer I created the build on) and was able to install the package with no issues; however, when I try to deploy build onto a networked machine, it doesn't work.
    I have read through the AAMEE Reference Guide and have read (if I am not mistaken) that for CS6, you can only deploy an AAMEE build through Apple Remote Desktop onto multiple machines. I have also read that you would need Apple Remote Desktop on all of the machines you want the build to deploy on.
    If that is case, if I have read the guide correctly, what is the point of deploying the build through a network if you have to still install ARD onto all the machines you want the software one? How can you get around this to be able to deploy your AAMEE successfully onto a network on machines?
    When I tried it last night on one network Mac with ARD, I received the error message for "Validating packages...". I'm not sure what that means because the build works perfectly on local machine.
    Any ideas would help as far as deploying the build on a network without using ARD, or really, just a simpler alternative that works?
    PLEASE HELP.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can deploy package using any of these tools - ARD, SSH, Casper suite, Absolute manage, Land desk..and may be more but we have only tried these.
    We have mentioned ARD as an example, but other standard tools can be very well used for deploying package. and there is no need to have ARD installed on all machines where you want to deploy the package, but only on admin machine.
    can you please let me know - which client OS are you trying to deploy the package and whether the client machine is logged or logged in? please forward install.log if you are facing the error.
    thanks,

  • How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

    How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
    I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
    change user /install
    change user /execute
    change user /query
    “The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
    that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
    article).
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,
