I’ve already carried out tons of experimentation with this and really feel principally assured I do know the reply and I’ve carried out searches on right here to verify this isn’t a replica question.
I not too long ago changed my Mac mini 2018 with the brand new Mac mini M4. My Plex server has been operating on a Mac Professional Tower (2009) for years and it isn’t IF however when it offers up the ghost. So I figured I would repurpose the 2018 Mac mini to be my new Plex server with an exterior 4 drive raid field. Since it will likely be just about simply an at all times operating server I see no have to have a show, keyboard, and mouse at all times hooked up after I get all of it arrange. I’ve a number of Macs in the home in several areas they usually all work nice with ARD however the are full methods with show, keyboards, and pointing units. All of them give me just about full management together with with the ability to reboot them remotely, and log again in remotely.
However after a number of days of attempting alternative ways of doing this together with plugging in a HDMI dummy connector to simulate a show it seems the one manner I can do that on this Mac mini is to maintain a mouse, keyboard, and show plugged in on a regular basis. I do know I may hold all that stuff unplugged and close by after getting it going however the ache of pulling them out and utilizing them to reset the system can be such a ache and I actually haven’t got the area for the show and keyboard and mount to be sitting round.
I’ve disabled a lot of the built-in safety considering that might be the problem however no. And by default each time a distant entry try is made that doesn’t work as a result of the whole lot just isn’t plugged into it the Mac goes into restoration and I’ve to plug all that stuff again in to get it up an operating.
SO… is it the case I am decreased to leaving a keyboard and mouse and show plugged into it on a regular basis and simply conceal it away behind the rack we’ve the whole lot supporting our residence workplace in?
I simply wish to be certain I’ve not missed one thing. I’ve tried each variation and mixture of setups I can and each time I am having to reboot the Mac with all its equipment to get it to work once more.
