WEBVTT 00:06.280 --> 00:12.160 Today, we're going to start talking about Apple remote desktop or HD for short Apple remote desktop 00:12.160 --> 00:15.110 is available from Apple in the App Store. 00:15.280 --> 00:19.660 So we'll open the App Store up and search for Apple remote desktop. 00:20.500 --> 00:21.310 There it is. 00:23.100 --> 00:29.730 So abnormal desktops available for about 80 bucks, which may seem kind of expensive for the App Store, 00:30.450 --> 00:33.600 but it actually has a lot of good features and well worth the money. 00:33.600 --> 00:39.210 If you've got a small business or a small number of Macs that you need to manage, it's not quite as 00:39.210 --> 00:46.620 robust if you need to use it for managing an enterprise group of machines or, you know, multiple Macs 00:46.620 --> 00:48.090 across multiple locations. 00:48.780 --> 00:54.480 It does have some good features using some Unix commands, which we'll talk about later on in the class. 00:55.140 --> 01:00.840 But for today, I'm going to just kind of talk through some of the basics of JRD and how to manage more 01:00.840 --> 01:03.620 of a small business group and get familiar with the built in tools. 01:04.200 --> 01:06.840 So the first thing we'll do is just go ahead and download it. 01:10.200 --> 01:11.920 Now it's finished, downloading will go ahead. 01:11.940 --> 01:13.300 Let's close the App Store. 01:13.320 --> 01:15.420 I'm actually just going to open it up through. 01:16.600 --> 01:21.940 Applications, I'm going to pull it onto the docs, I'm going to use a lot, so I'm moving in here. 01:23.700 --> 01:28.860 Now, upon first launching, we're going to have to step through some things, terms and services, 01:28.860 --> 01:29.520 obviously. 01:34.240 --> 01:39.160 All right, the first thing is going to ask you is to create a password, and that's basically to safeguard 01:39.670 --> 01:43.840 the data that you have, this will basically be if you want to install this on client machines, for 01:43.840 --> 01:48.280 example, so you can remote manage the max from any machine in your in your environment. 01:48.580 --> 01:51.880 You can install it and then you can password protect the application itself. 01:51.880 --> 01:54.280 If you're going to do that, you probably want to remove it from the keychain. 01:54.280 --> 01:57.400 But for our purposes, we're just going to go ahead. 01:58.340 --> 02:01.610 And keep the default, because I'm the only one using this machine. 02:02.330 --> 02:04.670 We'll talk about test servers at a later date. 02:04.670 --> 02:06.670 So I'm just going to go ahead and skip past that. 02:06.680 --> 02:15.230 But essentially, what you can do is set up a test server so that the jobs that you run on and actually 02:15.230 --> 02:21.170 get queued up and actually executed and managed from another machine to free up the interface for you 02:21.170 --> 02:23.900 to do multiple things instead of having to continue to wait. 02:24.050 --> 02:28.760 It's also good if you want to schedule tasks to run at a later date, but you may not have your computer 02:28.760 --> 02:31.160 on or be sitting in front of your computer with and running. 02:31.160 --> 02:35.210 So we can actually, as I says, we can change this in the preferences later. 02:35.220 --> 02:37.930 So we'll do that at a later later time. 02:37.940 --> 02:42.580 So I'm just going to head next to that and then report collection. 02:42.590 --> 02:45.760 We're going to go ahead and have it collect all this data by default. 02:45.770 --> 02:46.370 So that's good. 02:46.400 --> 02:48.370 We'll talk more about that in the future as well.
