Prevent Apple Remote Desktop 2 / scanner crashes
Authored by: webbix on Sep 15, '04 07:38:12PM

How ironic...

I have had the software about two weeks and just decided to give it a shot today. I have been using TB2 and VNC mostly but the remote administration automation is attractive as we move the rest of the office to OS X.

I had several crashes on start up and fired off the crash reports to Apple. I was dreading the idea of getting in a service queue to figure it out. I happened actually scan the 'Read Me' thinking I might have installed incorrectly or missed something else. That is where the link for 'known issues' caught my eye. I read the comment about the multiple locations and tried the fix. I had 8 or more location settings. I also have a 'zNull' location that is no network I used when transporting and to refresh network from home, work or remote user sites. I noted that it said you had to 'delete' the unused network interfaces. I remember be able to do that in the past but I tried to delete the 'modem' entry and it did not remove from the list. I still have 7 locations including my zNull and since I use a third party card at home for wifi that would be 28 max intertfaces (airport, built-in enet, orinoco, modem).

I did not know about the scanner being the culprit and I could launch in null network but it failed until I reduced my number of locations. If you can afford to do so, count your interfaces and make sure that number X your interfaces is less than 29. Maybe you can actually delete the listed interfaces to reduce but I could not.
