Hi Sabahattin, Regarding your comment about running OS X Server headlessly, I'm wondering what problems you're experiencing? I run multiple Mavericks servers headlessly without problems, at least as far as I can tell. Whether using the Server app from another computer, using the Server app on the headless server or going in via ssh, everything seems to work as it should for me. I could be missing something, so would be interested to know.
Using ARD with VO to do regular admin tasks is fine, but taking it over, like you've mentioned, is where the huge problems come in from a VO prospective. Regular keyboard actions are passed through fine but as soon as you press your VO keys, focus is brought back to the original machine. Pain in the neck in my world. Later...
