Disabling the Client Software
You may want to temporarily disable Apple Remote Desktop on a client without
removing the software.
To disable the client software on a client computer:
1On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.
If necessary, enter the user name and password of a user with administrator privileges
on that computer.
2Deselect Apple Remote Desktop in the Sharing pane.
3Quit System Preferences.
Apple Remote Desktop is now disabled and the underlying software is deactivated.
Alternately, you can disable only the administrator privileges by doing the following:
aClick Access Privileges.
bDeselect each user account that you enabled for Apple Remote Desktop
administration.
cClick OK.
dQuit System Preferences.
Warning: Because Apple Remote Desktop is part of the default Mac OS X 10.3 and
10.4 installation, do not remove the Apple Remote Desktop client components.
