WEBVTT 00:05.960 --> 00:10.460 Before you can start managing your clients with Apple remote desktop, you do have to turn on the Apple 00:10.460 --> 00:13.960 remote desktop management service on those client machines. 00:14.150 --> 00:15.250 So we're going to do that now. 00:16.640 --> 00:23.300 First, you go up to the system preferences, you go to sharing and you find remote management and you 00:23.300 --> 00:25.410 can see by default remote management is off. 00:25.910 --> 00:27.520 I have my computer's name here. 00:27.530 --> 00:31.280 It's going to use the friendly name when it populates the information into remote desktop. 00:31.280 --> 00:33.140 So double check the computer name. 00:33.140 --> 00:36.560 You don't want 20 machines, all called administrators, Mac. 00:37.940 --> 00:42.140 Then you can go in here and say, we're going to turn remote management on, you can see when I check 00:42.140 --> 00:47.570 that box, this turns on here, I can click on options if it doesn't prompt me to choose what things 00:47.570 --> 00:51.320 I want administrators using remote desktop to do with this computer. 00:51.830 --> 00:54.490 So I'm going to go ahead and turn all these on. 00:54.500 --> 00:58.100 But you can see, observe, control show and being observed. 00:59.170 --> 01:05.860 Generate reports, quit and open applications, change settings, delete and replace items, start text 01:05.860 --> 01:09.100 chat or send messages, restart or shut down and copy items. 01:09.100 --> 01:12.610 So, you know, one of the things you may want to look at when you're choosing these things, certainly 01:12.610 --> 01:17.230 if you're just the sole administrator in your environment, you can have them all turned on. 01:17.230 --> 01:22.660 But you may want to limit remote desktop for just maybe lab assistants or something. 01:22.660 --> 01:26.050 And you don't want them to be able to do all these things, but you may want them to be able to control 01:26.050 --> 01:29.350 a machine here or there if they're helping a user at, say, a helpdesk. 01:29.980 --> 01:37.310 So you can choose which of these settings you want to enable for your various different scenarios. 01:37.360 --> 01:38.860 I'm going to go ahead and add to that. 01:39.370 --> 01:41.740 The other option I want to show is under computer settings. 01:42.990 --> 01:46.680 So you can do a couple of different things that are computer settings, I want to point out first is 01:46.710 --> 01:47.960 this computer information? 01:48.330 --> 01:52.650 So these are four basically blank wild card options for asset management. 01:52.650 --> 01:57.480 And you'll see a little bit later on we'll we'll talk about the system overview report, where these 01:57.480 --> 02:01.840 actually get populated when you're interacting with machines and Apple remote desktop. 02:02.130 --> 02:07.620 So one of the things I like to do because my organization has an asset sticker on every one of our machines, 02:07.830 --> 02:13.620 and sometimes it's difficult to know when you're talking to a user what asset they're actually listed 02:13.620 --> 02:19.170 that or I may want to do a report and kind of true of my asset listing and I need those asset stickers 02:19.170 --> 02:24.000 without having to go visit every single machine across the the enterprise. 02:24.010 --> 02:27.270 So I go ahead and just enter this in while I'm setting this up. 02:27.450 --> 02:29.430 So my machine is. 02:31.590 --> 02:35.290 There's my asset sticker number and I'm going to leave these other ones blank. 02:36.180 --> 02:41.900 Now I'll know what my asset tag is whenever I am interacting with these machines next. 02:42.510 --> 02:45.210 You can show the remote management status in the menubar. 02:45.300 --> 02:51.120 And when you turn that on, you can also choose to allow anyone to request permission to control the 02:51.120 --> 02:51.530 screen. 02:51.570 --> 02:53.760 I'm going to leave that off and I'm really Vincey off. 02:54.090 --> 02:55.260 I'm going to hit OK to that. 02:55.470 --> 03:00.750 You can see when I hit OK, it created a little binoculars icon up here. 03:00.870 --> 03:03.060 And click on that. 03:03.060 --> 03:04.620 You'll see there's some options here. 03:04.770 --> 03:10.050 You can actually right now we don't have a remote desktop console running on the local area network. 03:10.050 --> 03:15.570 But once I do, my users could actually go in here and send a message to the system administrator, 03:15.840 --> 03:19.500 the person running the remote desktop console. 03:19.680 --> 03:24.200 And you can see here if you need to request access or help. 03:24.210 --> 03:30.270 So this can also function in a limited role as sort of a help desk for users who may want to reach out 03:30.270 --> 03:35.730 to someone running Apple remote desktop with a question and even could take control of their machine 03:35.730 --> 03:37.230 or assist them that way as well. 03:37.380 --> 03:42.620 Again, that probably great for enterprise, but in a small business environment could be very handy. 03:44.010 --> 03:45.720 So I'm going to go ahead and turn that actually off. 03:45.720 --> 03:52.540 So I'm going to uncheck that because I want people to actually use my enterprise help desk and those 03:52.540 --> 03:58.320 policies and preferences and now will be able to add this client machine to our remote desktop console.
