I run two MBP' both with 10.12.1 on it. Both are fresh installs.
I can not get screen-sharing to work if the firewall is on. If it is of no problem. I found these instructions, followed them and all worked. I turned both machines of and the next day it does not work again.

Any help appreciates.
Thanks.
Sure! Need all the help I can get. 🙂
And many thanks for engaging with me on this.
in system library click on go > computer Macintosh HD > library > preferences folder - you find com.apple.sharingd.plist - it is correct
And in same system library > Launch agents > right click on com.apple.sharingd.plist and move to the trash .
Answer for second paragraph what is this com.apple.alf.plist.lock file is it there in system or it was in past , as lock files can be created if user is using Microsoft office or some times they are suspicious as malware .
For your third paragraph com.apple.alf.plist in system library > preferences the third one is stating as original so you can delete the first two or if you delete 3 of them , no worries
Lastly remove ( right click on plist and move to trash ) , all the plist that I answered for three paragraphs , restart the machine & empty the trash .
in system library > Launch agents is generally empty if you are not using any third party app .
In user library > same Launch agents is empty .
The apple software is designed in such a way when screen is over , and you restart the machine it will go to default , its is good habit to ask as always WHY ? if you are real geek send your ford back to apple , but I think its just for security reason .
And to connect to headless server will you please explain is it on network server or what ? an article for it : macOS Sierra: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network
First of. I have no LaunchAgent folder in the user folder. And one on the HD site that has a load of files in it. All starting with com.apple....

Are you saying to remove com.apple.sharingd.plist from both folders?
It might be for security reasons, or a bug or something or I do not do it right.
In your link (I found it before trying to solve this) I could find no reference to it resetting at reboot. I googled it as it came to mind as a possibility since Apple is dumbing down the software, and could find no refernce nowhere. Have you? Or are we assuming here? If so there must be (I hope) a Terminal command to counter this. As it completely, in my mind, counters the idea of behind it all. And File-sharing holds after restart, so that in my mind is a much larger risk, and therefore seems not logic to me to have one reset and the other not.
My Headless server is fine, can get to it from all computers, is also not on 10.12.
Hi tygb
most of those files can not be removed according to the message I get.
I am not assuming I had a conversation with various different senior advisors about rebooting for both computers .
It is asking permission , a pop - up appears to enter your admin name & password , if yes please enter it , & also what about read and write permissions in home folder. > public , drop box , on the top of your hut icon there is a shared folder , have you changed them ? after that try to delete plist files .
Not sure I understand what you are communicating here.
No it does not it It tells me 'xxx can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by macOS'.
also what about read and write permissions in home folder. > public , drop box , on the top of your hut icon there is a shared folder , have you changed them ? after that try to delete plist files .
I have read and write permissions for my home folder. Still not able to delate.
So don't delete it is simple as system is not permitting 😝.
If you permit can we shift to new thread , I will try to solve more questions if you post on the wall .
Sure, no other option but to modify the system too deep.
Still left with Screen Sharing not working.
Give me a day or two , I will try .
