Restarting a Computer Apple Remote Desktop can restart a client computer. This has the same result as choosing the Restart command from the client computer's Apple menu. Unless you're trying to restart a client that supports lights-out management, you cannot restart a computer that has a current status other than "Available." Remote Desktop also uses lights-out management when you force a restart. To restart a computer: 1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window. 2 Select one or more computers in the selected computer list. 3 Choose Manage > Restart. 4 Select the type of restart. You can allow users to save files or cancel the restart, or you can force an immediate restart, which will cause the users to lose unsaved changes to any open files. 5 Click Restart. Shutting Down a Computer Apple Remote Desktop can shut down a client computer. This has the same result as choosing the Shut Down command from the client computer's Apple menu. Unless you're trying to shut down an client that supports lights-out management, you cannot shut down a computer that has a status other than "Available." Remote Desktop also uses lights-out management when you force a shutdown. Note: If you shut down an Apple Remote Desktop client that does not support lightsout management, you cannot start it up using Remote Desktop. The Shut Down command is especially useful when used with Energy Saver preferences. You can set your client computers to start up every morning at a designated time and use Remote Desktop to shut them down at night. The next morning, they will start up and be ready to administer. To shut down a computer: 1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window. 2 Select one or more computers in the selected computer list. 3 Choose Manage > Shut Down. 4 Select the type of shutdown. You can choose to allow users to save files or cancel the shutdown, or you can force an immediate shutdown, which will cause the users to lose unsaved changes to any open files. 5 Click Shut Down.
