Jul 24, 2011 6:36 PM in response to Laurent Drionby Ricky Yu,Turning it off and on, and turning Remote Management on and off DID NOT work for me. The client VNC still shows the login window and nothing you do can make you login. The keyboard is frozen, you just see the pointer move around. VNC/SCREEN SHARING IS BROKEN with Remote Management (ran ARD 3.5.1).

Jul 25, 2011 4:15 PM in response to Ricky Yuby MixedUp,not working for me either from XP via VNC - tried ""Only use protocol 3.3"" but this didn't solve anything
interestingly in the system log, after I try to connect with VNC (nothing else) I see the following - there are some logmein lines in there for some reason (also noting logmein is busted under Lion for the moment too...)

Jul 25, 2011 11:45 PM in response to JaseODby JaseOD,Thought I'd give Screens for iOS a try since it specifies Lion compatibility.
Everythingwentbetterthanexpected.jpg
It works perfectly. I imagine I'll need to play around a little to work out all the gestures etc. In terms of pure VNC functionality it's perfect. Seems that sending username/password in the VNC connect does the trick. This isn't an option in the other clients I've been testing with. Screens might be doing other things under the hood as well, I dont know.
It's not the cheapest option for remote control, but it's a very polished app. There are versions for iOS and Mac available, all $20.

Jul 26, 2011 7:38 AM in response to JaseODby Ricky Yu,This does not work in REAL VNC from a PC. What's the point of controlling a Mac from another Mac if Screen Sharing DOES work? In iOS is perfectly understandable, but no point of paying $20 for a Mac App. VNC IS BROKEN FROM PC!

Jul 26, 2011 7:40 AM in response to Geordonby Ricky Yu,Here is an official response from REAL VNC:
VNC Enterprise Edition is currently not compatible with OS X Lion...
To ensure you continue to have the best experience when using VNC Enterprise Edition on a Mac we recommend that you refrain from updating to OS X Lion until Enterprise Edition version 4.6.2 is available.

Jul 26, 2011 10:49 AM in response to Ricky Yuby don't mind the maggots,They are perhaps correct in the sense of achieving FULL compatibility, but I was able to get it working.
"VNC/SCREEN SHARING IS BROKEN with Remote Management"
That's a correct statement - I think.
I was able to connect from the Real VNC viewer on a win7 box, via lan to my mini, via Screen Sharing.
I went through a ton of possible configurations, but what finally worked was closing the ARD app on the mini.
Then I was able to connect without issue.
After I connect via VNC, I can then start ARD and it works fine as well.
I think the problem is that while they can both use the same port, either the app or the os is having a hissy fit over it.

Level 2 (251 points)
Servers EnterpriseI had the same issue. What I did.
Created new admin account using System Preferences.
Logged out of current account
Connected using screen sharing with new admin name and pass.
Disconnected
Logged in to machine as "old" user
Screen sharing with "old" user works now

Jul 27, 2011 5:14 AM in response to Geordonby Reubania,OK! Following advice from another thread:
1. DELETE ARDAgent 3.5.1 (HDD > System > Library > CoreServices > Remote Management)
2. Copied ARDAgent 3.4 (available through Apple's own Support Download section)
3. Restart machine
AND Screen Sharing WORKS between my OS X Lion machines! NO WAY will I be installing ANY update of Remote Desktop Client Update from Apple EVER again!
-
Jul 27, 2011 8:52 AM in response to Reubaniaby boymilo,Thank you for sharing this, I would like to give it a try. Where can I find ARDAgent 3.4? I am unable to locate it at http://support.apple.com/downloads/.
-
Jul 27, 2011 3:57 PM in response to boymiloby MixedUp,I've already reverted back to Leopard - will wait until there are obvious fixes in place before trying the upgrade to Lion again...

Jul 28, 2011 1:21 AM in response to boymiloby Reubania,Here is the link mate. Enjoy!
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1350
Instructions by tchaga:
1. Download ARD 3.4 (RemoteDesktopClient.dmg), mount it, look inside the package/Contents, copy the Archive.pax.gz to the desktop.
2. Expand the Archive.pax.gz and navigate inside the resulting folder Archive to /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
3. Navigate to the same folder at the root of your HD (i.e. HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement)
4. Copy ARDAgent from your HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to the Desktop and then delete it from the HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement folder (you need admin password).
5. Copy ARDAgent from Archive/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement (you need admin password again).
6. Restart

Jul 28, 2011 9:11 AM in response to Reubaniaby Andreas Yankopolus,Did these steps allow you to connect from a VNC client on Windows to the Lion box?

Jul 28, 2011 10:52 PM in response to Reubaniaby G.C.Thompson,Thanks for the info; just applied the changes and restarted, unfortunately iTap VNC still has the same problem.
I raised a support ticket with them a week ago, but no response as yet.

Jul 31, 2011 11:59 AM in response to Ricky Yuby williamfromstudio city,You may have already discovered this --- vnc is broken in ARD, but does work with :Screen Sharing". Uncheck Remote Management and check Screen Sharing.
