Script that enables Remote Management and adds user

I need to make a script that can enable Remote Management and add a user to control it.
I have tried to watch which plist files it uses so I could edit those.
It writes some text in com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist and com.apple.ARDAgent.plist bit I can't find where the user is added.
Any ideas guys
Thanks

No need to mess around with .plists. ARD has a command-line admin tool. The syntax is a little funky, but this should give you an idea:
$ sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users john -restart -agent -privs -all
This is all covered in more detail in Apple's technote.

  • Enable Remote Management in Single-User Mode

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to enable Remote Management option (System Preferences > Sharing) in single-user mode.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    If ssh won't get you where you want and brute-force loading the various plists isn't working for your case (as mentioned, error messages and details might help), then AFAIK, fully remote-managing a Mac usually involves adding a network-capable power switch and an outboard network-capable KVM adapter.  (The Xserve was the last box with (limited) remote-management capabilities, and there's not been any indication that Apple might be releasing systems with Intel AMT (iAMT, vPro) support available and enabled.)

  • How to enable Remote Management on multiple Macs using Workgroup Manager?

    Hi
    I want to use workgroup manager to enable remote management on multiple macs I manage.
    How can I do that?
    Regards,
    Omer Barel

    The only way I know to enable remote managment remotely is by running kickstart.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370
    If you are already using a login script you could run kickstart from there.
    We clone our Macs with remote management turned on.
    Otherwise, lace up your sneakers.   

  • I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
    'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
    'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
    that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

  • Custom Plist to enable Remote Management in Profile Manager

    Looking to enable Remote Management via a payload in Profile Manager. Can anyone help me create the custom plist values to enable all the toggle boxes for remote management as shown below. If you can also tell me what the preference domain is, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

    Hey Matt, thanks, but I think this is not the source of that problem.
    As shown in the figure, "Device Management" will never change do "Enabled", no matter how much I click on configure.
    The configure process is always successful but the state remains "Disabled". 

  • Difference between remote management and vnc

    Difference between remote management and vnc

    By VNC I will presume you mean 'Screen Sharing'.
    Screen Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing is purely for remote control and is based on the VNC protocol with a few extra features added by Apple.
    Remote Management in System Preferences does everything Screen Sharing does and is fully compatible with another Mac doing just Screen Sharing, i.e. it allows remote control. However it can also do additional things. It is intended for use with Apple's Remote Desktop Administration software which can use this to send files to a Mac, send (Unix) commands to a Mac and ask for a report from the Mac (e.g. how much RAM it has).
    If you don't have Apple Remote Desktop there is no real point enabling Remote Management instead of Screen Sharing.
    Both Screen Sharing and Remote Management can also be configured to allow 100% standard VNC connectivity from say a PC, as standard they only accept connections from Macs.

  • Script that enables mail users and kicks out two csv files

    I am working on a script that will mainly be used as a scheduled task to enabled mailuser by calling the update-recipient command. 
    But before it calls that command it will get for various issues that can cause errors.
    Missing PrimarySMTP
    Display name having a space at front or back.
    The external email address being blank.
    I have IF statements setup to check for those and then call a function that will save into an array the issue for that user.

  • How to find and add user's manager as approver for an action at runtime?

    Hi All,
    I am able to add logged in users to a role and initiate the process.
    But for 1st and 2nd level approval, I want to add supervisor and manger user id to the appropriate roles.
    How do I implement this?
    Thanks
    Sundar

    Hi,
    2 ways:
    1 - You can define a Structure String -> 0..n and define your role as Runtime Defined, so you associate this structure with your role. You will retrieve the users by role from UME, after this, initialize the structure withe the users. So the values will be transferred to your process.

  • Integration - Windows Server 2003/2008R2: Creating a login script that attaches programs to a certain user group. Upgrading to Windows 7/8

    We are currently running a windows server 2003 environment with a 2003 server being the DC. We have a couple of 2008 r2 servers that are member servers.
    OK...
    Our users are primarily operating off of windows xp clients/workstations in which they use RDP to connect to the newer member servers that are windows 2008. With their base profile in xp I am using roaming profiles via server 2003. I am looking to begin
    upgrading all of the workstations to all-in-one windows7/8 boxes partially because of cosmetic reasons(#weird) and partially because we will eventually begin using the camera options that are in the all-in-one's.
    Also..I must do this one at a time as we don't have the money to do a complete overhaul of all client workstations..If that was the case, I could just redo the network and make those members servers the DC and backup DC as well as add a virtual server
    in which everyone can access those legacy programs that are still needed...
    As you guys know windows 7/8 boxes will not work with server 2003 and roaming profiles. The reason we don't completely upgrade to 2008 r2 environment is because we are still holding on to a legacy program that requires server 2003 and these programs are
    vital to our operation.
    So..broken down even further...
    A: User is part of a 'LocalAdmins' group that makes them automatically a local admin upon any system within our domain.
    B: User  logs in to windows xp with credentials in which a tailored made per user roaming profile comes up from server 2003
    C: User then logs into one of the two terminal servers via RDP with same credentials and accesses new primary application. To access the legacy applications, they merely minimize their RDP session to get back to the windows xp session.
    Ultimately..
    1. I'd like to begin replacing option B: with windows 7/8 all-in-ones and and have the RDP saved sessions,that talk to the 2008 member servers, as well as, a few vital ie shortcuts automatically come to all users that are apart of that "LocalAdmins
    group period.
    2. Setup 1 server 2003 box that runs that legacy program and allow everyone access via a Virtual Environment..
    3. If they log into a windows xp box, or a windows 7/8 box, I want them to have access to the same icons.
    I guess this is a lot to digest, but my question is, what script could I make that would essentially allow uniformity for both my xp workstations and newly added windows 7/8 boxes? What script could I create that would,I guess reside on server 2003, that
    brings all the neccessary icons to the users that are apart of that "LocalAdmins" group despite having a windows xp, 7, or 8 workstation?

    " I don't see what the issue is because a logon script will still be managed by Group Policy and will have to be applied using GP rules.  In the end you still have to write the script."
    You basically contradicted the smug part of your rant and multiple answers with this statement!!! You just recognized that some sort of script would be necessary if I chose to use it via group policy. 
    But according to you..
    "It is not and has never been done via a script."
    Clearly it has a section per user for a "profile path" and a "logon SCRIPT". Which warrants my creation of this post since I have currentely implemented
    roaming profiles. That is how I am manipulating what users can have on their desktop because of course, we have different users that have different needs. But out of all the users, there are programs that need to be laced and seen upon immediate login.I
    will consult other people as this is only preliminary planning but about half of your statements are completely unwarranted and UNNECESSARY!
    This statement also proves your additional inaccuracies...
    "All of the profile things are handled by Windows and have nothing to do with scripts.  You define all of that in Group Policy."
    That's just silly talk. I told you in my initial break down of my scenario in an entirety that I am using "tailored made per user roaming profiles" to control desktop environments not group policies in this case. But you just made an absolute statement in
    saying "You define all of that in Group policy" which is completely wrong...
    Do me a favor, please don't respond to this post anymore. I'd love to see if any other partner, staff or whatever mind responding. Thank you for your help anyway. I will use what is useful in your post and discard the rest.
    Thanks

  • I need a script that will find the computer a user last logged into.

    I am still learning scripting, I need a script that will allow me to pull in usernames from a csv file. Find what computer they last logged into and output that to an csv file.
    I have looked all over and can't find exactly what I need.
     I found the following script but I need  to add the resuitsize unlimited but can not figure out where to put it we have a large environment. Also I need to be able to grab username from a csv file. Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.

    If you are querying by user "resultset size" will be of no use.
    You also have functions that are never used and the body code doe snot look for users.
    Here is what you scrip looks like if printed well.  It is just a jumble of pasted together and unrelated items.

  • Script to enable remote login

    In my job I am constantly required to SSH into other computers to fix problems via terminal. Is there any known script that I can use to enable remote login on my computer quickly rather than having to go to system preferences every time?
    Thanks for your help!

    I'm not sure I understand this request.
    In my job I am constantly required to SSH into other computers to fix problems via terminal.
    OK, fair enough...
    Is there any known script that I can use to enable remote login on my computer
    Enabling SSH/remote login on your computer isn't going to help at all. You need to enable remote login on the remote computer.
    It may be possible to have an AppleScript execute commands on a remote machine, if that's what you mean, but in order for this to happen the remote machine has to have Remote Apple Events enabled. In my experience, there are even fewer machines with Remote Apple Events enabled than there are with Remote Login - it's disabled by default and is unlikely to be enabled by most users.
    So if Remote Login isn't enabled, your only solution is Remote Apple Events, but if that's off you're pretty much out of luck (unless you have some kind of screen sharing setup running).

  • Setting up Remote Management for external users

    Hi All,
    We currently have a zenworks 10.3 environment set up and all appears to be working well on the LAN with regards to being able to remote control machines etc. We are now looking to expand the remote control to enable support staff to remote control machines outside of our LAN.
    From what I understand so far through reading the zenworks documentation, is that we would need some kind of proxy server setup in the DMZ that will listen for requests from the client device and forward these on to the agent. There will inevitably need to be firewall changes etc etc... but i guess my question is to you guys who I expect have set some this up in your own environments, is how have you guys gone about achieving this? Its evident that there may be more than one way to achieve this, but would be useful to know the correct way of doing this?
    I know the question is a little vague, but this is the first time we’ve looked into the remote management externally - and this is where all the knowledge is :)

    I recently had a go at getting the built-in VNC server in Leopard (as part of remote management) up and running.
    Remote control works flawlessly from other Macs, but it refuses connections to Windows clients most of the time (throws up errors like 'Error waiting for server message' or something).
    Any ideas? I thought it might have something to do with the Windows client not understanding the encryption, but haven't found any way to change security settings.
    Thanks in advance!

    Have you giving the server a VNC password?
    System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management -> Computer Settings -> VNC viewers may control screen with password: xxxxxxx
    What VNC client are you using on Windows. Not all VNC clients are created equal? I know about TightVNC (which has been reported to work), RealVNC, and UltraVNC are 3 that I've heard about.
    You can also install your own VNC server (in parallel using a different port or instead of the Mac OS X VNC). Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) has been used successfully for years. After all not all VNC servers are created equal either
