For whatever reason the ist in the Tasks folder found inside the Client directory above seemed to be corrupt removing it seemed to do the trick. The fix I used is to remove the /Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/Client directory and restart the client. I have run into a similar problem a couple of times but today was the first time I was actually able to resolve it! I’d seen a number of folks with the same problem, but I didn’t find a solution until I ran across this Apple Support Discussions thread. The common factor seemed to be that it was happening on my 10.4.x Macs (I didn’t see the problem on 10.5.x or 10.6.x Macs) and would persist across reboots, reinstalls and everything else I could think of. It would launch, crash, relaunch, crash, relaunch, crash, relaunch, etc. On a few of my servers, I’d recently begun running into a problem where the ARDAgent process (which is the process for the Apple Remote Desktop client) was crashing repeatedly. Does not allow screen sharing access if no user is logged in.Mandates that all screen sharing access be approved by the logged-in user.Removes the need for any account to be enabled for screen sharing access.However, there is a way to enable screen sharing using Apple’s Remote Desktop Client and Apple’s Screen Sharing.app which does the following: Frankly, I’ve been on both sides of this fence and I don’t like it either. Access privileges – A lot of folks don’t like the idea that someone they don’t know can take over access to their keyboards and screens without the remote customer saying it’s OK for them to do so. However, securely changing the account password on multiple remote Macs can be a management challenge on its own. Password rotation – If you’re enabling screensharing via granting access to a local account, the security requirements in most environments mandate that those passwords be changed on a regular basis.Authentication – To enable access using a username and password, that user account must be granted access rights by belonging to a group or by explicitly granting rights to a local account.However, there can be several technical and human-centric issues with enabling remote assistance: In a number of Mac-using environments, there is often a need for IT staff to remotely connect to a Mac’s screen using Apple’s Remote Desktop application and work with the person on the other end to resolve a problem.
