How can I set "Anyone may request permission to control screen"

[NealIV]

Remote login is on and remote management is also on, but I do not know how to script in Computer settings and set "Anyone may request permission to control screen" and also "Show Remote Management status". I need this so when I go to control users machines it will ask for permission.

Thanks

Are you referring to the ARD agent settings? If so, start by looking at the help page for the kickstart utility. There's a lot that can be configured via scripts. Run this in Terminal-

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

Apple also has a page here describing some of the options. Its old, but still applies since ARD hasn't been updated past version 3.x:

kickstart -configure -clientopts -setreqperm -reqperm yes

Anytime I get stuck on a particular ARD configuration, I use the Create Client Installer... option in ARD to create a package with the specific configuration I want to use. Next, I take the package that ARD creates, open it up in Pacifist and then look at the postflight_kickstart_entries file. In the latest Pacifist, you would open the package, click the Resources tab, then go to (Package Name): RemoteDesktopClient.pkg: Scripts: Tools: postflight_kickstart_entries. That file contains the kickstart flags for that particular configuration.

Never used Pacifist, but it is awesome.

Thanks!
