What is Remote Desktop client 3.5.3?

Remote Destop Client is built-in to the mac os operating system. Like paw said, long as it's off in system preference sharing it can not be used to connect to your computer. It's like the cup holder in your car, it's there, regardless if you chose to use it or not.
Some times Software Update will not offer another update until the currently offered update is installed. So while you may not use Remote Desktop Client, you may want one of the other updates that relies on that Remote Desktop Client update being installed.
Software Updates can also improve the security of your computer. So while your not using Remote Desktop Client, the udpate could improve the security of your computer as a whole.

  • HT5170 About Apple Remote Desktop client 3.5.3, what is it, is the question

    Seeing this - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5170?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Apple Remote Desktop client 3.5.3 is included in the OS X Lion v10.7.4 Update,
    and as a standalone update for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard clients. This update provides general OS compatibility fixes.
    That's a About explanation?
    I have an update waiting - not applied of course.
    No Idea what it is - or what it's for.
    So go to link to find out - and it's Zero result.

    It's the client for this application:
    http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
    Apple bundles the client with all installations of OS X so administrators don't have to install it.

  • What is Remote Desktop Client Update v 3.8.2

    Why do I need Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2

    It's just something that comes built into every Mac. You can either download it or right click the update and choose "Ignore" or "Hide". It's a very small update that doesn't take long to download or install so it's probably easier in the long run just to click the "Update all" button in the App Store when you see more than one update available along with 10.10.2 for example.
    You can also have these updates install automatically. See the bottom of the first link "App Store preferences" for how to do this:

  • What is new in Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1?

    What is new in Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1? Also, how can we tell if clients are on 3.8.2 v1.1 and not 3.8.2 from ARD? Apple isn't providing us with detailed information so I am reaching out to the community.
    THanks,
    Andrew

    Yeah, it tells you nothing which is why I posted. Here is what they link you to: About Remote Desktop Admin 3.8 - Apple Support

    Have you tried a safeboot and then installing the update?

  • Remote desktop client software not active

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm a bit bewildered by this errormessage (and I couldn't get a hit when I searched for it) when I try to drag a file from the xserv to the macbook pro desktop, remote desktop client software not active.
    The macbook has the ard server and connects to the xserv ppc. It connects over the internet.
    The xserv is behind a iptables fw and I have forwarded 3283 tcp/udp plus 5900 udp/tcp to the server. Have I forgotten a port ?
    I've read through http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm as well as http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070302234400232&query=vnc%2Bsimpl e%2Bset%2Bup
    and tried to find out more from the discsussions here.
    The macbook pro sits behind an airport which is hooked into the dsl modem. Do I need to configure port forward in the airport as well.
    Connecting to the xserv and working on it works great but the copy file transfer fails.

    Hi there I took new try at this and this is what finally solved it for me.
    The earlier answer I got was very good advise but I had already done that bit, actually I might have overdone it a bit I had checked all the boxes under the useraccount on sharing.
    Back to business.
    Firewalling. I realised I need to open and portforward at both locations and remeber it's booth tcp and udp.
    So at the xserve location I needed to forward 3283 and 5900 both tcp and udp from outside to the IPnumber of the xserve.
    At home with my macbook I needed to do the same.
    However this did not solve it, I had forgotten one software on the macbook. On the xserve I had installed ARD upgraded it to 3.1 AND installed the upgrade for ARD 3.1 client. The client part I had forgotten at home. So once my ARD and ARD client software matched I could connect to the xserve and drag and drop files booth ways.
    ARD wasn't running on the xserve I just had it installed along with the client software.
    So portforwarding in firewalls and the same software and versions in all locations seems to have solved it for me.
    A small note enabling/disabling the firewall in macbookpro did nothing for me since when enabled ARD rules were in place and active so it still worked.
    I hope I made some sense.

  • Remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

    What is the difference between remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

    Remote Control is a built-in feature for SCCM 2012 and uses the RPC protocol. When you use this, the user can still be logged on while helping.
    Remote Desktop is a buit-in feature for Windows and uses the RDP protcol. When you use it, the user will be logged off.
    Why you would use one over the other depends on your requirements.

  • Remote Desktop Client update 3.8.2 keeps appearing

    I installed the remote desktop client update 3.8.2 on my mini (Yosemite) without any probs. On my Air it is appearing over and over again although it shows up (5 times in the meantime) as being installed correctly.
    Whats going wrong?
    I had this issue with one of the latest printer updates, but was able to solve this by downloading the installer separately.
    Is there a download for the remote client update anywhere.
    Thanks
    Stefan

    Try re-indexing Spotlight.
    Spotlight – Re-index
    If that doesn't work, try control - clicking on the update to see if you get a Hide Update option.

  • Since the Remote desktop client update 3.8.2 V1.1 my Indesign CS4 crashes when I try to print. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Problem with remote desktop client update

    I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
    I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
    I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live.  I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
    I found these ports in another discussion
    TCP and UDP port 3283
    TCP and UDP port 5900.  (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
    port 22
    This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
    TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
    Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
    Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
    This severely hurt system performance.
    I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
    While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
    On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time".  ;-)

  • HT201068 In the Ap Store "Updates" window, it says that "Remote Desktop Client Update" was installed today.  I never intentionally installed "Remote Desktop".  How did it get there, Where is it on my computer, and How can I remove it?  Thank You!

  • Uninstalling remote desktop client

    Hello
    OK - a newbie problem having been over zealous with google and not reading about what I was actually installing.
    I was interestd in being able to remotely access my mac mini from Windows XP for when I'm at the office. After a bit of googling I turned up a prospective hit and installed the remote desktop client from here :
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/appleremotedesktop21client.html
    now, I have lost the ability to access the Sharing section of the System Preferences .. how do I get this back?? It now tells me that I cannot open the sharing options as they do no run on an Intel based mac ...
    Am completely new to Macs, having used PC's for donkey's years .. guess I should have looked before leaping!
    Help appreciated !

    Hi fourier_2009 & welcome to discussions...
    Seen this?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
    Next time - triple check that anything you want to install is fully compatible with Snow Leopard. Otherwise, stay away and wait until you've had more time to learn your new computer in standard configuration first...take it to the nearest Apple Store and let the staff educate you a bit if need be

  • I am having trouble installing and using remote desktop client and admin on the same imac.  I need help?

    Can you give me a step by step on getting the client and the admin part of remote desktop to work?  I am new to this and I need for remote desktop to work to install the Faronics Deepfreeze enterprise console on the new imac in office.  The OSx version is 10.8.3  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Also, when I go to install the admin, it says that the remote desktop client is not updated and I cant get mac app store to show any updates.  May be doing something wrong.

    This is what I usualy do to setup ARDclient on a client computer.
    on the client computer
    go to menu bar (white bar at top of the screen)
    click on the apple menu
    chose system preferences
    click show all button
    click Users & Groups
    click the lock to unlock
    click + to create a new account
    chose new account: type "administrator"
    name the user some thing applicable like "ARDuser"
    set a secure password
    click create account
    click show all button
    click sharing
    set the computer name to some thing descritpive that identifies the computer
    check remote login
    click on remote login
    set allow access for: "only these users"
    click the +
    chose the ARDuser from the list
    click select
    check remote management
    click on remote management
    set allow access to "only these users"
    click the +
    select the ARDuser from the list
    click select
    check: observe, control, genereate reports, open & quite applications, delete and replace items, start text chat or send messages, restart & shutdown, copy items
    click ok
    click the lock to lock system preferences
    click show all
    quite system preferences
    At this point you should be able to connect to the client using Apple Remote Desktop using the ARDuser setup above. Make sure the client and the ARD computer are on the same network the same way. IE both on ethernet or both on wifi. On the same internet conenction, if your were trying to conenct to a client over the internet there is more involved. 
    on the ard computer:
    open apple remote desktop
    from the left column select discover
    make sure the list is set to bonjour
    the client computer should show up on the list, with the name set above
    select the client from the list
    click control
    you will be prompted for the user/pass to log into the computer. that's the ARDuser setup in the steps above.

  • Remote Desktop Client for Mac and SSO

    Hi. 
    We have RDS Deployment (Windows Server 2012 R2) with RD Connection Brokers, RD Session Hosts and Web Access.
    Windows clients log on without any issues, credentials must be entered only once (Single Sign On).
    But Mac clients must enter their credentials twice (on CB and SH).
    Does Remote Desktop Client for Mac support SSO and if it does, what special settings are required?
    Mac users use Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.13.

    Sorry, I have missed important detail. This problem appears when I open .rdp files.
    Really, if I create connection and save my credentials, I will not enter credentials. But in this case I can't specify Collection
    (loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.SomeCollection - parameter in .rpd file).
    In my case, I open .rdp file, connect to RD Connection Broker, log in to RD CB, RD CB redirects me to RD
    Session Host, I log in to RD SH (enter credential second time) and now I connect. In this chain could be a RD Gateway.
    When I connect to the same farm with the same .rdp file from Windows client, I have enter credential only once (SSO works).
    So my question: Does  Remote
    Desktop Client for Mac support SSO? I know that SSO require CredSSP, is it implemented in Client for Mac?

  • How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version?

    How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version in Lion?  I'm asking because in starting up a mid 2011 MacBook Air, I ran Software Update, which determined that Remote Desktop Client version 3.5.1 was available.  I wanted to find what the existing version (older than 3.5.1) that came with Lion was, but coudn't find it.
    Thanks.

    Get Info on:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    or if you have Apple Remote Desktop on an administrator system, you can see the workstation client versions by control-clicking in the header in the computer list and selecting to show the ARD version column.
    Regards.
