Disabling the Client Software
You may want to temporarily disable Apple Remote Desktop on a client without
removing the software.
WARNING: Because Apple Remote Desktop is part of the default Mac OS X
installation, do not remove the Apple Remote Desktop client components.
To disable the client software on a client computer:
1 On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing.
If necessary, click the lock and enter the user name and password of a user with
administrator privileges on that computer.
2 Deselect Remote Management in the Sharing pane.
If the client computer is running Mac OS X version 10.4 or earlier, deselect Apple
Remote Desktop in the Sharing pane.
3 Quit System Preferences.
Apple Remote Desktop is now disabled and the underlying software is deactivated.
To disable only the administrator privileges:
1 Select Remote Management in the Sharing pane.
2 Select “Only these users.”
3 Select each user account that you enabled for Apple Remote Desktop administration
and click Remove (–).
