Carbon Copy for MAC

I am not sure what you are asking because you talk about deployment console and then referencing Remote Desktop.

If you are interested in doing a remote desktop session to a MAC from Remote Contol then you will need to install VNC on those MAC's.

Reference Altiris KB Article Number: 24842 for the full solution answer.

Thanks
Wes

UltraVNC

To add to what Shepherd mentioned, you'll need to connect to your Macs via VNC. There are many options out there, but CondorMan wrote a step-by-step article about integrating VNC into your Deployment Server. It also addresses how to get more options on your Deployment Console than just "Remote Control" and "Remote Desktop". The article can be found here:

Hope this helps,
