Jun 16, 2015 Configure Mac Remote Management from the Terminal Posted by Alan Siu June 16, 2015 July 23, 2015 Leave a comment on Configure Mac Remote Management from the Terminal On a Mac, if you want to remotely manage the client machine using ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), you can go to System Preferences Sharing Remote Management. Yesterday, Mac software developer Intego published a security memo on an exposure that exists with the ARDAgent application on OS X 10.4 and 10.5. ARDAgent runs when you use Screen Sharing in 10.5, and if you've enabled Remote Management in the System Preferences panel, but this exploit actually works when ARDAgent isn't running. ARDAgent is a faceless (no dock icon, no windows) helper application for Apple Remote Desktop. ARDAgent is very useful for people who use Apple Remote Desktop to manage a large number of Macs; it can run programs on behalf of the remote administrator, for instance. Jul 14, 2015 ARDAgent is a part of Remote Desktop Management application of your Mac. This is a known issue and this has been around since Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. There is nothing wrong with your Mac. And this is not a problem. It is simply telling you that the file has been modified and it is unable to repair it because this file is being used by your Mac.

On a Mac, if you want to remotely manage the client machine using ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), you can go to System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management.
What if you want to configure a user to remotely manage the machine but you have only SSH access (or you want to run a script instead of going through the GUI)?
