Apple Remote Desktop lets you install software and software updates on one or more client computers without user interaction or interruption, or even if no user is logged in. After installation, Apple Remote Desktop erases the installer files. If the computers need to be restarted, as they do following an operating system update, you can restart them from Apple Remote Desktop. Chapter 1 Using Apple Remote Desktop 15
