Task Server Scenario
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.
