Question : How do I connect to my Mac Server GUI?

Customers with Dedicated or Colocation servers can connect using Apple Remote Desktop Administrator or Timbuktu (both require a license on the Customer side) or use any free VNC software. For PC users, we recommend Tightvnc. RealVNC 4 doesn't support Macs, and RealVNC 3.3 requires the Preferred Encoding "Hextile" under options(Auto Select won't work). For Apple, we recommend Chicken of the VNC.

Question: My VNC session froze and I can't connect to my server anymore. How do I fix it?

VNC seems to have problems when using multi-display computers in the client, and it may freeze. To restart the service, you can SSH to the Mac and then run:

sudo killall ARDAgent

if ARD is not responding, it may be necessary to restart it with:

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/ Resources/kickstart -restart -agent
