XServe 10.4.7 + Remote Desktop 2.2

I am trying to remote to the xserve using an Imac with remote desktop 2.2. I am able to use the control feature from the Remote desktop program, to get on the server, however it asks for permissions to log on. When I shut down the server, I have go to the server and log on to get control or access the Xserve, through Remote Desktop program.
Any suggestions of what I need to check so I can log in and shut down the server from another machine, using the Remote Desktop program?
xserve Mac OS X (10.4.7)

How did you acquire the 10.4.7 update, Edgar? Did you use Software Update or download from the Apple website yourself?
I put 10.4.7 on a 17" 2.1GHz MacBookPro a couple of days ago and that was fine. You might think about downloading (again, I know, tedious) the combo update for the Intel equipped Macs and installing that.
Of course, I presume that the machine was in A1 order before you installed; and that after the reinstall up to 10.4.6 that you have checked the disk and installation?

Howto access with Remote Desktop a Xserve with firewall service on

Hello,
When I activate the firewall service of a Xserve running the OSX Server (10.4.11), I cannot anymore connect to the Xserver with Apple Remote Desktop. I opened different ports which seemed to be related with ARD but without success.
What should I do to allow the ARD access when firewall is running ?
Jean

Have a look at this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
Make sure you're opening all of the required ARD ports.

Remote Desktop - Included w/Xserve

Hello Everyone,
Probably a very simple question. Is Remote Desktop included with Xserves running 10.6?
I have an Xserve in the server room running 10.6 and need to connect to it from my Mac in my office. My Mac is running 10.6 client.
Do I have to buy Remote Desktop or is it included? How do I get this going?
Thanks.

To clarify what Tony has pointed to, if you're not familiar with Apple-speak...
[Download|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/server admintools1062.html] and install the Server Admin tools on the Mac OS X client, and [get the LOM configured|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2773] on the Xserve box.
Then, as Tony states, launch Server Admin, enter the host and password, and share the Xserve server screen. You can do that via the VNC path Tony mentions, or (once you have Screen Sharing launched from Server Admin) you can control-click on the Screen Sharing icon, select Options, and select "Keep in Dock" to easily give yourself a short-cut to the tool.

Apple Remote Desktop Can't Connect to an Xserve running 10.5

I was upgrading an Xserve with dual G5 processors from OS-X serve10.4 to 10.5. I've got a keyboard and monitor plugged into the Xserve. Apple Remote Desktop v3.5 can't connect with the Xserve. File sharing on the server is checked to allow it. The ARD ports seem to be open on the server. .When ARD scans our network computers, the Xserve says Access Denied next to it. When I try to connect it says something like "Unable to Verify." Any ideas what the issue might be?
Thanks

Well the File Sharing service would not have anything to do with remoting in. Have you checked Remote Managed and checked to see if the accounts listed with access have everything checked off?
Did the local admin password of the server change? Can you ping the server?

Accessing Xserve Desktop Out Of Network via VPN or Remote Desktop

Hi everyone,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at my question.
I'm trying to figure out how I would set up an Xserve so that it could operate on a work network while allowing users to access it away from work (at their houses) with a login and password that I've set up in the Xserve. That way they can access specific applications on the server.
I've searched through the forums and other documentation already with moderate success. Apparently I don't NEED a static IP address for my Xserve but it would make it easier. It seems that the most highly recommended solution is setting up a VPN.
So after some further research, I found that the VPN can be set up directly within the OSX server but I'm unclear on how to actually allow it to do what I'm trying to do. I don't want my external users to be able to have any admin rights -- I basically want them to remote desktop into a user account on the xserve with no ability to change any settings, but to access one application on it so they can run that application on the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If I understand your request correctly, what you want cannot be done out of the box.
Despite Mac OS X Server's ability to support multiple users, it's still limited to one GUI environment/desktop. That means that there's only one set of GUI apps that can run at a time.
You could have multiple users log on using Remote Desktop, but they'd all see the exact same thing. In addition, actions (key presses, mouse movements, etc.) by any one user would be reflected on every other screen, so it's not practical to have multiple users trying to use the same GUI environment.
You need to more clearly define what it is you're trying to achieve. Why, for example, are you trying to run applications remotely over the internet, given the additional latency inherent in this kind of setup)? What do you expect to gain?
More importantly, what application(s) are you trying to run?
Some applications support remote processing (e.g. an application you run locally on your machine submits a job to the server for processing, based on the idea that the server is a more powerful machine).
Other apps support collaboration where multiple users can share the same data and updates are dynamically reflected on other clients.
There are some hacks that emulate multiple desktops, and they might work for you, but you need a better understanding of what you're trying to do.

Help, when connecting to xserve with remote desktop, lost menu bar

Here is my situation, I have an xserve running 10.5.5, this weekend the server rebooted itself and when it came back up LDAP was not running and had to be restarted. I fixed that problem but now whenever I connect to the server using remote desktop, the menu bar is missing and I cannot open any applications. The server is not located here and can not be rebooted unless absolutely necessary. Is there a way to fix this problem by SSH in the terminal? Sorry if this doesnt make too much sense I am relatively new to mac servers. Thanks in advance

I think your priorities should be first, to get the server on a decent & properly-rated UPS !
If it restarted (undesirably) for a reason other than a power outage/issue, that should get addressed promptly.
Since you have ssh access (hopefully very well secured), I'd suggest you run use diskutil to verify the system-volume as well as run a permissions repair, and then set aside the Preferences folder for your account (whichever one you try to use for ARD),
and you can kickstart the ARD client.

Have Remote Desktop 3.3 and trying to get to XServe network

I installed Apple Remote Desktop 3.3 on my MacBookPro with 10.6.2 and when I launch my VPN Client and Remote Desktop, nothing is showing up, yet on another laptop with 10.5.?, the ARD isn't 3.3 and everything comes up like a charm. Any ideas on how to get it to see the network from home?
Thanks in advance

Have you configured your ARD to look for the servers over the VPN?
By default ARD will show a list of pre-configured servers that you can manage. You can use the Scanner option to search out remote systems to manage but by default this only searches the local LAN. It won't look over the VPN for remote systems unless you've already added them to your managed servers list.
You can have ARD look over the VPN - just change the 'Local network' pop-up menu in the Scanner window and set 'Network Range, then enter the range of IP addresses across your VPN link.

Can I use Remote Desktop to run Windows software from my Mac

Here's what I want to do:
1) Set up a small office LAN with an Apple Xserve as the file server; clients are mostly iMacs but a few PCs.
2) There are one or two software apps I need that exist only in the Windows world (such as a good document comparison software like DeltaView).
3) I want to have one dedicated PC for my one or two essential Windows apps and then run Remote Desktop Connection on my Mac client to launch the Windows app on the PC client and use it to edit or otherwise manipulate a data file stored on the server.
Is this possible?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
OK, maybe I'm missing something basic but then why would I ever want to run Windows network in my office? The bugbear about Macs is that there is certain Windows software for which there is no good Mac equivalent. But you are telling me that as long as I have a couple of Windows boxes, I can run my Windows software on them through my Mac, even though the data files are stored on an separate box (an Xserve).
Now, for the $64 question -- is it possible to set up a network in such a way that I could use RDC on my PowerBook in, say, Chicago to run the software installed on the Windows box and in turn to open and manipulate the files stored on the Xserve in my office, halfway across the world in Abu Dhabi? Would this be a particularly difficult configuration?

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 Desktop and co-location

Hello,
I want to lock my drives but if I am correct when the lock on the front of the Xserve is locked Remote Desktop keyboard and Mouse will not work?
Is this true?

You can use ARD to control a remote machine that is locked.

Reset (stop and start) Apple Remote Desktop

Solaris 11 - after installation there is no remote desktop avaliable

Hi All,
I have the problem that after installation of Solaris Express on SPARC machine there is no available remote desktop. I am using Xmanager to connect to my server.
It works fine with Solaris 9 and 10.
Do you know what is the problem?
Thanks,
Daniel

I was installing Solaris Exrepss using JumpStart server running on Solaris 10. Solaris Express installed successfuly.
But there was no XServer running.
So I was enabling some services.
During the enabling services error message appers:

Thaw computers over remote desktop to run software updates

I've got a network of computers running 10.5.6 and have Faronics Deep Freeze installed. Disabling deep freeze on every machine to run software updates, and then re-enabling it is a colossal pain.
What I want to do is create a workflow that I can send to all computers simultaneously through Remote Desktop that will first thaw the computer, then run software updates, and finally re-freeze the computer. I've never used Automator before, and I'm not really sure where to start. Can anyone give me some ideas?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
OK, maybe I'm missing something basic but then why would I ever want to run Windows network in my office? The bugbear about Macs is that there is certain Windows software for which there is no good Mac equivalent. But you are telling me that as long as I have a couple of Windows boxes, I can run my Windows software on them through my Mac, even though the data files are stored on an separate box (an Xserve).
Now, for the $64 question -- is it possible to set up a network in such a way that I could use RDC on my PowerBook in, say, Chicago to run the software installed on the Windows box and in turn to open and manipulate the files stored on the Xserve in my office, halfway across the world in Abu Dhabi? Would this be a particularly difficult configuration?

Remote Desktop Assistant woes

Hi all,
My boss was talking about the WWDC2007 session he saw on ARD and particularly "Remote Desktop Assistant" which allows list sharing.
I've tried to get it working but it refuses to go. The main computer I tried only showed 5 of the 20 lists. Every computer I've tried sharing lists to or from the "Remote Desktop Assistant" crashes when I hit the "Sync" button.
I'm running ARD 3 and OS X 10.4.10
Has anyone had any success or failures getting this to work.

I have downloaded Extending Remote Desktop for Large Installations PDF. It references two applications that I am having difficulty locating. It looks like you have found these apps. Do you have a URL where these could be found?
I'd like to try this out - even if it has been failing. I have 22 of my 47 schools with dedicated XServes for Task Server activities and local ARD administrator computers. This seems to be a good fit for my environment and I am willing to get this working and share my notes (pass or fail).

Installation of packages via Remote Desktop 3.5.3 fails

Hi,
I'm using Remote Desktop on one of our Mac Mini's (OS X Server 10.6.8) to install packages on one of our Xserve's
If I try to do it from a Mac Mini with Remote Desktop 3.4 remote installation of packages works fine on Xserve's running either ARD v3.5.1 or v. 3.5.3
However, on one of our Mac Mini's I upgraded ARD to 3.5.3 and remote installation of packages fails.
This is what I see in /var/log/system.log:
Oct 1 10:30:34 ws11893 Remote Desktop[1806]: SendMessageToAgentWithReply: gCmdReplyPtr->cmdResult contained error code -6404
Oct 1 10:30:34 ws11893 Remote Desktop[1806]: SendPacketWithReply error -6404
Oct 1 10:30:34 ws11893 Remote Desktop[1806]: Failed in SendPacketWithReply for kCmdFT2_AdminToSender with packet sub-command kFT2_AdminSendInfo. Error: -6404
Any one having any experience with solving this issue?
Thanks
