Not noticing problems mentioned here
ARD seems to work great for me. I manage around 50 computers on a single subnet over a gigabit connection. It even seems to work fine over wireless connections. I think the issues people are running into are with firewalls on the macs in question. I noticed similar problems on iMacs that had their local firewalls enabled. I do notice some bugs in IP address and DNS listing, but for me, I have multiple ways to identify each machine so it doesn’t bother me. Mind you, it should be fixed and thus I knocked a star off the rating.
Overall this is a really useful tool and works on all Macs out of the box. No separate software installs, no set up other than flipping Remote Management on.
