Remote Management user keeps disappearing

I have a theory. I haven’t had a chance to test it yet. I was able to get it working using the all users selection.

I am guessing that a mac with either all admin accounts or just a single admin account locally on the computer won’t allow you bar another administrator account from ARD.

my theory is that the moment you add a standard local user it will allow you to select specific users and will retain that setting.

you can’t bar an admin from having full access to everything so having a setting that would restrict a root enabled user simply can’t happen.

but again this is just a theory. I would need to create a standard user and test this out.

Nope.

Same authentication failed as before, and, yes, even with the exact same user credentials that allowed it to be (re)added in the first place. This is hardcore broken! Apple needs to get back to eating its own dog food, b/c right now, it's more like Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. and/or Suzhou Textiles, Silk, Light Industrial Products, Arts and Crafts I/E Co. and/or Chemnutra Inc...

This worked for me, thank you very much. I actually like this way better than using "Remote Management". We have around 100 Macs on our Windows domain, so using the Directory Utility I added our AD Tech Support group to the "Allow administration by" groups under the "Administrative" tab. We create a local "Administrator" account at first power on (or after a wipe and reload) that shows in the list "Allow access for" as "Administrator". After adding our AD group to the Administrators list in the Directory Utility there is a second in the list that shows as "Administrators". Using Administrators vs. Administrator allows my techs to share screens using their own credentials. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but it worked for me.

This worked for me.
