A Add the clients to Remote Desktop’s All Computers list. A If you have existing clients in a list, you will need to change their Task Server report data upload settings, so that they upload to the Task Server on a schedule. Chapter 2 Task Server Setup Chapter 2 Task Server Setup Task Server Scenario 3 This chapter presents a scenario in which a dedicated Task Server is set up for use by a Remote Desktop administrator for reporting and AutoInstall. In this scenario, the Apple Remote Desktop administrator uses a mobile computer, and wants to use a Task Server so the mobile computer doesn’t have to be on the network all the time to capture report information. He also needs to use the Task Server to install software on the mobile computers used by the Sales department. The mobile clients are typically off the network, so he can never be sure that all of them are online when he pushes out an important update. The remainder of the clients are tracked closely and update their report information daily. However, since some users shut down or put their their computers to sleep at night, which is the administrator’s preferred update time, the Task Server also benefits the desktop clients. They will be updated when they start up or wake the next morning. The following diagram illustrates the simple network in this scenario. ABCD Label Description A Administrator computer. IP address 192.168.1.10 B Workgroup server. IP address 192.168.1.2. Fully qualified domain name: taskserver.example.com C Desktop clients. IP address 192.168.1.20–192.168.1.40 D Mobile clients. IP address 192.168.1.60–192.168.1.70 To accopmlish these goals, the administrator is going to: A Check his network setup A Install the Remote Desktop Task Server on a workgroup server which is always on A Configure his own copy of Remote Desktop to use report information from the Task Server A Set the clients to report to the Task Server A Use the Task Server to install a software package to both online and offline clients Chapter 3 Task Server Scenario Preliminary Planning and Setup The administrator first makes sure that the network settings and infrastructure are configured properly. The administrator does the following: 1 He checks the network settings on the server. Passes: The server has as static IP address (192.168.1.2) and a fully qualified domain name in the DNS (taskserver.example.com). 2 He checks the firewall settings on the server. Passes: He sets the firewall to allow communication between the server and the client IP address groups (192 168.1.20–192.168.1.70) on TCP and UDP ports 3283 and 5900. TCP port 22 was already open for server administration. 3 He checks for proper connectivity from a few of the clients. Passes: He’s able to ping the server from the clients and make connections on the correct ports. 4 He checks for proper connectivity from the server. Passes: He can scan the IP address range of the clients and gets network ping results from a sampling of them. Setting Up a Task Server for Reporting Now the administrator is ready to install Remote Desktop on the server. Then he can configure and enable the Task Server. The administrator does the following: 1 He makes sure he has two Unlimited Managed Systems licenses, one for the server and one for the mobile administrator computer. 2 He installs Remote Desktop on the server, using the server’s attached display and keyboard. If the server were headless, he would use the Remote Desktop kickstart tool via SSH to enable the Remote Desktop Sharing and other command-line file copy tools to install the Remote Desktop application. For this example, he uses the GUI method rather than the command-line method. 3 After the installer finishes, he launches Remote Desktop to configure it via the Setup Assistant. When the Setup Assistant asks if he’s going to use another computer as a Task Server, he makes sure to leave the default, which indicates he is not using a different Task Server. Chapter 3 Task Server Scenario 4 When the Setup Assistant finishes, he launches Remote Desktop to configure this server’s Task Server. He goes to Remote Desktop > Preferences > Task Server, and selects “Use Task Server on this computer” and “Allow remote connections to this server.” 5 He uses Remote Desktop to verify that it finds the client computers. By selecting a scanner and scanning the network range he wants, he sees all the client computers he expects. The administrator doesn’t need to add the clients to the All Computers list or keep Remote Desktop open on the server. This step verifies network availability only. Setting Up an Admin Console to Query the Task Server Since he’ll be using his mobile computer to administer, and won’t normally be sitting in front of the server, the administrator needs to install and configure a second licensed copy of Remote Desktop on his mobile administrator computer. The administrator does the following: 1 He installs Remote Desktop on his mobile computer, using the installation ...
