Help with AppleScripts

[derienzo]

Hi,

 

I am currently writing an applescript that will activate remote login and remote management from system preferences AND add the admin account under "Allow access for:"

 

Here is what I currently have,

 

 

 

tell application "System Preferences"

activate

 

delay 0.5

 

set current pane to pane "com.apple.preferences.sharing"

end tell

 

delay 0.5

 

tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"

clickcheckbox 1 of row 7 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of window "Sharing"

delay 0.3

clickcheckbox 1 of row 8 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of window "Sharing"

delay 0.3

end tell

 

 

 

This succesfully activates both remote login and remote management but I can't seem to find out how to click the "+" button under these tabs, or then add the correct user.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you image your Macs? I believe that you could set this up in the master image, meaning you wouldn't need to manually do it through AS.

Using Applescript for this is klugey, and doing it via Applescript UI scripting is klugiest of all. The terminal commands systemsetup and kickstart have you covered. Look at this: bynkii.com: Some command - line tips for Apple Remote Desktop and OS X
