Hello everyone,

I tried screen sharing with two test Mac's (just imaged) and noticed that both machines had the option turned off in System Prefs. Even manually turning it on and allowing "All Users" doesn't work.

Anyone still having this issue?

Relevant post.

    I have trouble with Screen Sharing, where it works one day and then not the next. However, if you have the ability to ssh into the machine where Screen Sharing should be working but isn't you can run the following commands to disable the ARD agent and enable Screen Sharing:

    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -deactivate

    then:

    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate

    This always does the trick for me when I can't remotely Screen Share with one of our computers that has Screen Sharing enabled in System Preferences.
