ARD 3.0 - can't Install/Send Unix etc...

Hi all. Welcome all suggestions
I am able to control a ARD client, so I've authenticated but I'm unable to 'upgrade (2.2 to 3.0 clients), 'Copy' files to them (3.0 clients), send Unix command or Install files.
These are there, but greyed out. I've unistalled (AppZapper) and reinstalled, chucked prefs and no go...
I'm using an Admin acct (network, but local Admin), and other (local) Admin accounts can do this from this computer.
Ideas?

This is an unfixed "bug" with ARD.
Go to: Remote Desktop menu --> Preferences --> Security and make sure "full access to all features" is checked at the bottom for non-admin users. Then try it.
If it doesn't work, then you'll have to login as a local admin.

Can't Set Remote Login OFF via Send Unix Command systemsetup

Trying to use the System Setup->Remote Login template in ARD to turn off Remote Login (SSH) in Sharing panel of System Preferences on Mac that is administered through Apple Remote Desktop.
In Apple Remote Desktop (ARD), I select the client machine, then choose "Send Unix Command..." from the "Manage" menu. In resultant window, I pick "System Setup->Remote Login (SSH) from the "Template" drop down box in the upper right. That populates the upper window with Unix commands. I edit/change the "on" to "off" and tell the dialog to Run command as User: root, then click on "Send" button.
Progress bar goes forever with no change.
I can turn off Remote Login via ARD by controlling each client machine via an ARD WINDOW, then navigating to the Sharing Preference pane, but that process is tedious when performing for multiple client Macs.
Strange, but I CAN use the "Send Unix Command..." outlined above to turn ON Remote Login, and get the status of Remote Login ("systemsetup -getremotelogin"). Just can't turn OFF Remote Login (quickly/efficiently).
man systemsetup suggests I need to write the command as "setremotelogin -f off" but that failed with an improper command syntax error.
Thoughts?

It’s waiting for you to type a confirmation. If you run this command on the command line normally, you’ll see the message:
Do you really want to turn remote login off? If you do, you will lose this connection and can only turn it back on locally at the server (yes/no)?
Use this command instead:
systemsetup -f -setremotelogin off

Using Send Unix in ARD to copy files from laptops to server--

OK, you ARD "Send Unix" gurus, here's a question. I am still getting my feet wet in the Terminal and having lots of fun, no big mistakes yet..
I am looking for a solution to make a teacher's life easier. It's a writing class. Each day the students do a writing exercise with the MacBook or iBook carts, and the students seldom have the same computer twice. The laptops are bound to Active Directory, and a local user folder is created in /Users using our naming scheme lastname.firstname, and the teacher laptop has Apple Remote Desktop Admin.
Usually, students are supposed to save their documents to their own home folders on the server, but it's kind of wonky through the menus (until we get the Xserve up and running), so they usually save first to Desktop and then drag the files to their server home folder icon on the Dock. BUT, I'd like to set it up so the teacher can get copy of the Word document each day to read and archive. Setting up another share for the students to drag it to proved unreliable, e-mail is not an option (too much processing of individual files for the teacher), and the teachers can go into the home folders when absolutely necessary if one or a few kids forget, but not all of them each day.
Here's what I'd like to do-- create a script that the teacher could run in ARD to do the following to the group of MacBooks/iBooks:
copy contents of currently logged-in user's Desktop to /Volumes/mountednetworkdrive/sharename/classfolder/ AND rename the file if there is already one there with that name, do NOT overwrite.
The students are supposed to name their files last.first.doc, but they forget, and the test scripting I've tried overwrites Document1.doc with Document1.doc from another student. Since they put their names in the document itself, it's not a big deal to the teacher if they forget to name it correctly.
The major problems -- the variable for current user "~/" as in ls ~/Desktop/ doesn't seem to list the desktop contents of the current user on the remote machine, therefore I assume cp ~/ would also not work properly.
I have also be unable to find any documentation of any of the various copy commands that talks about renaming instead of overwriting (like web browsers do if you download the same file multiple times, for example, by appending a digit).
Options: Instead of renaming, copying the logged in user's whole Desktop directory (but not whole cached login) would eliminate the need to rename, but still not as handy as all the files in one directory. Eg. "cp /Users/(last.first)/Desktop /Volumes/mountednetworkdrive/sharename/classfolder/" but we'd need the folder name of the currently logged-in user to copy, too, (confusing I know) so that the teacher would then find in server/share/class/ a bunch of folders named last.first (the student names) with another folder called Desktop and their document inside. The rudimentary script I wrote above, even if it worked, would copy the whole cached home directory, which is too large with the Library, as well as the inevitable Photo Booth pictures.
Another option would be to copy the contents of the desktop to a new folder named after the logged in user (if that variable exists).
Arg. This was supposed to be simpler, but if there is any way to make this work, I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thanks

My usernames are shorter, so I never noticed that who only has 8 characters. Just to make it more interesting, the if command further down was goofed up by the forum. The ' -e "$DEST/$FILE" ' should have square brackets where the single quotes are in this sentence.
Fixing the truncating problem is interesting, especially with the forum goofing up my if statements. I guess I'll have to try single quotes and you'll have to change them with square brackets. It's important that the square brackets be a space away from what's inside them. Dump the cd line and replace it with:
USER=$(who | grep console | awk '{ print $1 }')
DIR=$(ls -1 | grep $USER)
if ' `echo $DIR | wc -w` -gt 1 '
then
echo "FAILURE!"
exit 1
else
cd /Users/$DIR/Desktop
fi
This code will bail out if it can't find a single user directory. I doubt it will work well if the short names have spaces either. Be careful of the back-ticks in the if statement! They are significant.

Using ARD to send UNIX command to add item to dock

The ARD 3 Admin Guide, page 132, says the following command sequence will install an item in the dock of the target computer(s):
4) Type or paste the following UNIX command (replace /PathToApplication with your own path to the desired application, and be sure to include the application file extension, .app):
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '<dict><key>tiledata</
key><dict><key>file-data</key>
<dict><key>CFURLString</key><string>/Path_ToApplication
</string><key>_CFURLStringType</key><integer>0</integer></dict>
</dict></dict>';killall -HUP Dock
Use “persistent-others” instead of “persistent-apps” if the item is anything other than an application.
I am unable to make it work. Could anyone help with the correct syntax or suggestions as to how to perform a remote addition to the target computer dock.

Do you have JSS? I ask because your script contains the word JAMF allot.. if you do have a jss, is there a reason your trying to use ARD instead of your JSS to run this script?
When issuing the script from ARD as a send unix command, Have you cosnidered using the option to run command as user "root" ?
are you sure you want to do this? the script look like it dose more then just disable the isite. And do you know how to undo this if you change your mind?

Can't send UNIX command to some users

I have some users that I use as "guinea pigs" for rolling out new updates. They do my testing of the updates through the daily grind and report problems and such.
Since updating to 10.4.4, I cannot send UNIX commands to them reliably. In fact, simply sending the command "ls /Applications" results in a long wait with ARD reporting "Waiting..." that never seems to finish.
Is there anything I can delete from their systems that would force those computers to reconsider their desire to run my UNIX commands? Sending to my 10.4.3 users results in instantaneous command results and sending UNIX commands to some other 10.4.4 systems (like my own laptop) works just fine as well. It's like these four systems are confused somehow. I just sent "ls /Applications" to 150 users and only those four systems have ARD "Waiting..." to complete the task

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

Can't install or update ARD on Yosemite

Did a clean install of Yosemite on my 2012 MBPro. I installed ARD v3.6.1 then was going to update via the App Store (like in the past). But the v3.7.2 update doesn't show up in the App Store, so I downloaded the ARD Admin 3.7.2 pkg but can't install to the HD. Error says there's already a newer version of this package installed.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi nwpmike,
When I uncheck "SSL" it's working well, but it's not very secure. When I leave SSL, I got in "Connection Doctor" the message "Trying to log in to this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct.", only for the SMTP. For the IMAP, the status in Green. It's also working well on the iPhone 6 with ios8 and other mac with OS X 10.9 and previous versions.
The only thing that can be involved is that the certificat used by my mail provider is expired.
With connection docteur, there is a button "Show Details". Here is the conversation when connecting to the smtp.

Can I install ARD on two machines?

I've just purchased ARD 3. Mostly, I'll want to use it from my office desktop machine, but when I'm on the road, I'll want to use it from my MacBook. Can I install it on both machines, and then have both machines as clients to each other?
Thanks

You need to purchase two copies to legally install ARD on two administration systems.
Note that if all you need is to be able to control another computer, which is what most people want to be able to do from a remote location when it's only one computer, then ARD will be overkill. Look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

Cant send UNIX commands via ARD

I have ARD, and the option to send UNIX commands is greyed out. Help?

On the client, apple menu, system preferences, sharing, Remote Management.
If allow access is set to all users, then click the options button.
else, select the user your using to connect to the client, and then click the option button.
Make sure every thing is checked.
click ok
try again on ARD.
Other things to try:
quit and re-open ARD.
delete, then and re-add the client computer from ARD.
unchecking, and then re- checking remote management on the client. (to force the service to restart)

ARD 3.6.1 remote log in Unix command failure

Hello, I am using 10.7.5 and ARD 3.6.1 and cannot figure out how to remotely log in to another computer
I wish to remotely log in using ARD to multiple computers in my network, up to 30 at a time for elementary students. I can observe, control and send Unix commands to the machines when they are at startup log in screen or in use. This is the Unix command I am trying to use to log into the comptuer using ARD and Unix command function.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "login"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'
**and yes I am changing the login and password keystroke**
I have tried the above Unix command and several others but I get a message saying "A console user is not logged in on “studnetmacbook"" so I click the button to run command as user admin but then get the message below.
36:50: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:49: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:54: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:52: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:52: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
Could someone explain these errors. Is ARD not compatible with remote log in with the versions I have? I have seen on sites this is posted and other sites that this needs to be run as the root user...Should I know how to run this as a root user and if so could someone help me with how to do this?
Or if anyone else has a working command could you share it with me for remotely logging in using ARD.
Thanks!

Hi
Don't quite recognise what it is you're using. Maybe try:
osascript <<EOF
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "whateverusernameyou'reusing"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke "whateverthepasswordis"
delay 0.5
keystroke return
end tell
EOF
Instead. Works every time for me.
The above are all on separate lines.
HTH?

Hi , can Anyone please send me XI installation process

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me the step by step (with screen shots if possible) process of complete installation process of sAP XI. It would be great help.
Thanks and regards

Hi
Here is your installionation process..of XI
the installation of SAP XI,
Follow these steps while installing XI:
1. Windows server or advanced server with latest service patch.
2. IE 6.0 with latest service patch
3. Install Microsoft office and winzip, acrobat
4. Install JDK with version 1.4.2_03 or above with the corresponding JVM
5. Install the SAP GUI 6.20
6. Make sure that you have hard disk space of 10 GB in C drive and 50 GB in the installation drive.
7. Make sure the virtual memory is between 512 and 1594 or above for the installation drive.
8. Copy the dumps of following DVDs into the installation drive.
Installation Master DVD
Installation Export
Additonal Components for SAP BW/SAP XI,SAP MI,SAP KW
SAP Web As Java
9. Start the installation from the DVD dump Installation Master DVD.
10. When installing the ABAP Database the SID of the oracle default database should be different the ABAP database SID.
U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)
u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)
or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation
XI installation
In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.
At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.
U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.
In simple words regarding learning XI, there is an abundance of information on SDN and help.sap.com. So I think it will be better for you to search information there rather than me just providing you links.which will just go on and on and on.so I felt it is better for you to go and search so that not only you get information on SAP XI but also explore SDN in its real sense.
