Administering Client Computers 8 8 Apple Remote Desktop gives you powerful administrative control. You can manually or automatically get detailed information about every computer, install software, and maintain systems from a single administrator computer. This chapter describes Remote Desktop's capabilities and gives complete instructions for using them. You can learn about: Â "Keeping Track of Task Progress and History" on page 105 Â "Installing Software Using Apple Remote Desktop" on page 110 Â "Upgrading Software" on page 115 Â "Copying Files" on page 116 Â "Creating Reports" on page 121 Â "Maintaining Systems" on page 138 Â "Managing Computers" on page 146 Â "UNIX Shell Commands" on page 155 Keeping Track of Task Progress and History The task history area is on the left side of the Remote Desktop window (see "Remote Desktop Main Window" on page 30) with all computer lists and scanners. Every time you execute a task (generating a report, copying a file, restarting a computer), the task name, affected computers, task result, and time you execute it is stored in the Task History window (accessible via Window > Task History). The History list, in the main Remote Desktop window, shows the task name and result. You can collapse the History list to reduce its size. You can select a task in the History list to see some information about it, and doubleclick it to view a more detailed description of the task, as well as the computers involved with it. Tasks in progress appear in the Active Tasks list, where you can stop and restart them. 105
