![]() If your computer is on the UI network, you can use PowerUp to save energy and turn off your computer, then turn your computer on remotely. Once you have configured your computer (the host) for Remote Desktop, you can connect to it from another computer on the Internet by using the Remote Desktop Client, which is pre-installed on any Windows 7 or later version of a Windows machine. You will also need your host computer's hostname or IP address to connect from a client computer.As an end-user I am looking for some guidance from the experts where on JAMF Nation The Remote Desktop Client can be downloaded and installed on macOS computers. I frequently have a need to run data-intensive statistical software demos at our site. I would like to simply have remote access so I can pull up my office computer to run the demo. The "Sharing" System Preferences icon is greyed out preventing me form enabling remote access myself. My colleagues who use Windows 10 are allowed to use remote access without restriction to pull up their desktops anywhere on-site.ġ) Does their claim that the use of JAMF's Casper to administer Macs makes it impossible to allow me to have remote access on-site make any sense? My IT department tells me that their use of JAMF's Casper to administer Macs makes it impossible to allow remote access to the iMac in my office from a Windows 10 computer down the hall. I have a feeling after some significant turnover that they may simply lack the "know-how" or desire to sort the problem out.Ģ) If it is possible to enable remote access for a user when using JAMF Casper, what specifically do I need to ask them to do in order to enable access for me. Is there documentation that I could point to in order to help them make the necessary changes. I apologize if I make some mistakes with the terminology, please correct me when needed. ![]() In fact, one of the things I need help with is knowing the correct terminology so I can communicate effectively with my IT department here. The inability to use my own desktop down the hall imposes a significant time cost on me and introduces a great deal of frustration for me and the people I am running the demos for. Thank you for any help or guidance you can give me. ![]() We use a VNC client to connect across platform. On the Mac a separate VNC password can be set for sharing its screen, and also on the Windows 10 PC VNC can be set up to share its screen. Our Windows developer technician uses a Mac on his desk, from this he connects to Windows and Linux boxes. One of our other technicians uses Windows, and he remotes in to Macs from there. System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -clientopts -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy yes -clientopts -setvncpw -vncpw -restart -agent -privs -all In System Preferences / Sharing / Remote Management there is a Computer Settings button. Which means that in theory it is possible to send a script with a password set to any Mac, even individually. They should also be able to restrict your access by restricting port access in the network, to prevent external access. We have Access control lists in place to restrict this internally and externally. Back when I was administering a large number of Macs in an enterprise setup, we made extra efforts to ensure VNC was never turned on. It uses a static password, and there's simply no way to ensure it's using either a rotating password or one that meets a certain passcode requirement. So it could use something as simple as "password123" and with that enabled, anyone with the IP address of the Mac and that password would be able to get in and control the Mac.
