Hi,
Just looking to confirm if anyone else has come across this issue. I've got a secure site with a number of Macs that require management. I have applied all the recommended firewall rules but found that Remote appears to require port 5999 to be open to initiate a screen share / control session. Is this correct?
Cheers,
Warwick

Ok so it helps if your using the most recent version of the remote app. Sorry.

You can disable remote desktop by telling kickstart to turn off the
agent
sudo
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart
-deactivate -stop
screen sharing simply enables itself through one file
com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd
If you change "enabled" to "disabled" it should work
example:
echo -n disabled > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd
