I have tried for days and days to get ARD to work on a remote computer.. Opening ports and all there is to it. It's too damn hard!
I used to use this regularly to control my iMac from my MacBook Pro, but since I got Leopard I havn't needed to use it. Think that screen sharing is an awesome application. Obviously I can see the advantage with RD for performing remote admin tasks, but I think that for an average user Screen Sharing will take over.
Simpply the best remote control software ever. In my opinion, nothing comes even close to it. Functions such as creating regular automated reports on application usage, user history, storage, etc. Share, control or observe,... it's all possible! Setting up a task server is as easy as 1, 2, 3. It's just great Apple stuff!
