What’s New in Apple Remote Desktop 2
Apple Remote Desktop 2 offers more than 50 new features for managing networked
Mac OS X systems. Key features include the following:
• Installation of multiple software packages. Apple Remote Desktop 2 supports the
simultaneous installation of multiple software packages on one or more Mac systems.
Software installation occurs in the background and requires no end-user interaction.
To minimize the impact on your organization, you can schedule installations for
deployment during off-peak hours or periods of low network traffic.
• Expanded reporting. Hardware reports gather more than 200 attributes about net-
worked Mac OS X systems. Software reports collect information about applications
and files, including details on 16 file system attributes. Results are stored in the 
included SQL database for fast and easy retrieval.
• Offline reporting. Hardware and software inventory reports can include information
about mobile systems—even if they’re not connected to the network.
• Screen sharing using VNC. With support for the Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
protocol, Apple Remote Desktop 2 can observe and control any remote Mac or 
VNC-enabled computer, including Windows and Linux systems. The multi-observe 
feature can display up to 50 screens in a single window.
• Task lists. Apple Remote Desktop 2 lets you view lists of running, queued, and 
completed tasks. Tasks can be saved and used later with new parameters. It’s also 
easy to schedule tasks to run at a future date and time.
• Remote shell scripts. The Send UNIX Command feature allows you to execute UNIX
shell scripts or UNIX commands simultaneously on one or more Mac OS X systems.
Apple Remote Desktop 2 also includes two new command-line tools for setting
Network, Energy Saver, and Date & Time preferences.
• Network scanners. Rendezvous works with one of four network scanners to help 
you discover Mac OS X systems on your network. You can search a range of network
addresses, specify a network address or DNS computer name, or import a list of 
network addresses or DNS computer names from a text file.
• User access mode. Administrators can delegate a subset of Apple Remote Desktop
tasks to non-administrator users.
• Remote boot disk selection. Apple Remote Desktop 2 works with the NetBoot and
Network Install features in Mac OS X Server to set the client startup disk remotely.
This powerful feature makes it easy to reset multiple Mac systems without having to
visit each computer.
