Although I don't have a direct Casper method of doing this, there's a script to enable to remote management:
#!/bin/sh
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -configure -allowAccessFor -specifiedUsers
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users "admin" -privs -all -restart -agent
exit 0If you have a local account named "admin," this will enable ARD management for that account for all privileges. Make adjustments as necessary to accommodate your own administrative accounts.

If you can't remotely connect via either, then you're out of luck.
Once done, block the sharing pref pane via MCX/Config Profiles.

+35Sorry i was being stupid earlier, you should be able to run a policy to reenable. (Was thinking casper remote as that needs SSH).
I might have some knocking around i can post later.
+18In this regard, do people put in a script/LD for this sort of thing, or just deal with it as it happens?
Most users don't mess with this or know how, but I wondered (since they're all admins) if admins do that, or just lockdown the Pref Pane? We just started doing that, so it will take a while to propagate though the company.
