If you allow access to the computer using Apple Remote Desktop, the administrator can see the client computer in the Computer Status window and include it in Network Test reports, even if no other options are selected. Setting Apple Remote Desktop Administrator Access Authorization and Privileges Using Local Accounts in Mac OS X v10.5 To prepare a client for administration, you enable Remote Management on the client computer and set administrator access privileges by using the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the computer. You can set access privileges for all users or separately for each user account on the computer. Follow the steps in this section to set access privileges on each client computer. Note: You can skip this task if you create a custom installer that automatically enables your desired client settings.
