Mac OS X Server (10.3) Tips

When ARD isn't working properly on a client machine, run the following:

ssh root@ipaddress"killall ARDAgent"


To create home directories for all the users in your LDAP directory:

sudo createhomedir -s


Enable PPTP VPN: sudo vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1


Turn on ARD access remotely:

ssh into the client machine and then run (all on one line):

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/

Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users

-privs -all -restart -agent -menu
