The way to go, I would think, is to create a custom client installer which will prepare the client settings for you. The ARD Admin Guide has detailed steps on how to accomplish this: http://images.apple.com/remotedesktop/pdf/ARD_Admin_Guide22.pdf There really isn't any reason you "have" to visit the client at all. Caveat: I haven't tried this with Tiger so if that's what you're working with, let me know if how it goes. |

norburyn, As you suggested I can create a custom installer which will create a new user and activate ARD. I have done this. Now the question is how do I run the installer on the G3. I can copy the .mpkg to the desktop of the G3 and can get myself into terminal. What is the exact command to run the package? I spent some time trying to figure it out... so far I have (from memory) sudo installer -pkg </Users/adam/Desktop/Custom.mpkg> (I get stuck here, how do I tell the system the target? What is the target? -
