Setting VNC Password and Enabling remove management


Forum|alt.badge.img+3


Hi All

I am looking to push out enabling remote management and setting a VNC password.

I have tried running the command bellow and i get a "Command not found" error.

I have attached a screenshot of my terminal window.

If anyone has any tips that would be great.

Thanks Dale

This should enable Apple Remote Desktop

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all > /dev/null

Below is how we have setup to configure it and setup VNC password

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -configure -clientopts -setreqperm -reqperm yes -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy yes -setvncpw -vncpw "password you want minus quotes" > /dev/null

Anyone may request permission to control screen
VNC viewers may control screen with password
And it seems to be setting the password.
Unfortunately I'm getting password incorrect issue. Tried with or without the quotes.
