Open source apple remote desktop6/13/2023 ![]() My understading from talking to Windows techs in the industry is that these tools are free because they’re crap (at least they were when they were first introduced) compared to the market dominant SysAdmin and monitoring tools that were already out there (eg. I think a lot of Windows users out there are still confused by Apple’s choice of naming convention and so compare ARD to Windows Remote Desktop (or whatever) instead of comparing it to SMS (or whatever). comparisons amongst computing platforms are a common way of determining value. tell us about the features and why its a good buy or not.Īpple does not exist in a vacuum. Others will buy ard for its advanced management functions that come free in windows server 2003.ĭoes ard have some features that neither win xp or server 2003 have? yes.ĭo xp and server 2003 have features that mac os, mac os x server, and ard dont have? yes.ĭiscuss the subject at hand and please cease the frenzied apple defensiveness. Some mac users will buy ard to get basic functionality that comes free in xp and server 2003. I dont love windows more than anything in the world. They vary in price and feature set and the platform they run on. I posted information for a competing set of products. The subject is remote desktop control and management ![]() Readers share information on the news that is posted. Software, hardware, etc bulletin board style news source If the answer to any questions is “no” (which I do not know, I confess I did not read all the details about WRD) then WRD would seem to be more aimed towards, if we are talking about how it benefits IT guys, remotely managing a server or monitoring single workstation’s users requests for help, while ARD would seem aimed towards managing large amounts of workstations at once (and having the extra possibility to also connect to a single one).īut I would need a confirmation that WRD is really thought towards simple one to one connections…Ĭan you install any form of Windows Remote Desktop server component to other Windows versions such as Home or 2000? (ARD server -which Apple calls client, duh!- can be installed in any Mac OS X version machine AFAIK) I really do not know the answer to themĬan you, with Windows Remote Desktop, install new packages (OS updates, application updates or simply new apps) to all computers serving RD at once, with one single drag and drop, drop down menu or something?Ĭan you copy or delete one file to/from all those computers serving WRD at once from the client computer you are managing your lab?
