Q: System pref/sharing/Remote Management/Computer settings

Hi,

 

I am managing hundreds of Mac via SSH and ARD and I am looking for the command that allows me to remotely change or set these settings up. I am using those fields to sort Macs by department or companies.

 

It was working before from ARD but now overtime I try to do this vie ARD/Manage/Client settings, ARD keeps crashing.

 

What is the Terminal command to change the 4 Information fields?

Thanks a lot.

    Hi,

    I forget to mention that ARD/Manage/Client settings was working fine on Mavericks and since Yosemite and El Capitan, I have this issue with ARD.

    Thanks a lot.

    I won't pretend to understand the logic behind the option switches, but the command line to generate the image you've attached is:

    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -configure -computerinfo -set1 -1 "MADDISON Nicky" -set2 -2 "www.easy-ict.be"
