[MacTUG] unexpected: I can now (again) see Deploystudio rebuilding clients via ARD

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

One of the nice things about deploystudio was that you could set things up so that when a client was being imaged you could view this process via VNC. As a bonus, if you have this client already set up for control via Apple Remote Desktop, you could watch it from there. Very useful when rebuilding a lab of machines and you want to watch all of them in case any hang.

At any rate, at some point this stopped working. It has not worked for a few terms. And now it is. And I have not changed anything on the deploystudio end (same version of deploystudio, same Sierra netboot image, etc). But now it is working. I think there have been a couple of ARD updates on it and it may be that something in ARD was fixed to let this happen again.

I had convinced myself that deploystudio ‘broke’ it, haha. Clearly apple likely broke something and then fixed it?!
