Does anyone know which plist this option for Apple Remote Desktop lies "Allow control of this computer when this application is running". I would like to create an MCX to make that option active.

Thanks!

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop AdminConsoleAllowsRemoteControl -bool true

I found an old archived Apple Care article. This must be it!

    I know this is a really old post but I thought i'd ask, so...

    Does this command still work with 3.8?

    I'm actually going to answer my own question...
    This is the command needed to make the changes on ARD 3.8. 

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist AdminConsoleAllowsRemoteControl -bool true
