CUPERTINO, California—April 2, 2003—Apple® today announced Apple Remote Desktop™ version 1.2, the easiest way to manage and support networks of Mac desktops and portables. With Apple Remote Desktop software, network administrators can efficiently distribute and install software, copy files, gather asset management information and remotely control system settings over the network. Teachers can remotely control and interact with a student’s computer and easily provide personalized assistance directly to a student’s screen. Apple Remote Desktop v.1.2 includes powerful new features such as Remote Software Installation and Remote Network Startup Disk. Apple Remote Desktop simplifies desktop administration, enabling classroom teachers and network administrators to maximize the use of their Macs and minimize administration costs.
