Q: Unable to allow access in ARD client for specific users
I have ARD Admin 3.8 and manage over 100 computers at my company.
As per standard practice at my company, the setting for System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management > Allow access for: is set to "Only these users:" The field is empty.
I've been trying to add an account through the Terminal. I SSH into a machine and run various commands, but they're not working:
These are the commands I've tried:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users [username] -privs -all -restart -agent -menu
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -configure -users [username] -access -on -privs -all
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -users [username] -access -on -restart -agent -privs -all -allowAccessFor -specifiedUsers
None of them worked, I still can't authenticate to that machine with my ARD Admin.
Am I missing something? Is there something else I can try?
Thanks.

Never mind, I figured it out.
For some reason, the full name and account name were different and I was using the full name in the command. Once I used the account name, it worked.
