Joel, if you want me to make this an article just let me know and I’ll get screenshots and write it up.
Several people including myself have been trying to figure out how to import Apple Remote Desktop 1.2 Computer Lists to other users. Here’s how to do it.
—Create a keychain just for ARD Computer Lists
Open Keychain Access.
Make sure your keychain is locked
Duplicate the keychain in ~/Library/Keychains/<your username>
(this is just a backup)
File > New > New Keychain
Create the new keychain as ARD in ~/Library/Keychains/
Enter a password for this keychain only. I make this my common admin password.
Sort the keychains by Name and look for Apple Remote Desktop
There will be a Password Item for each computer list that you have. If you have 8 computer lists you’ll see 8 items. Unfortunately the computer list name in ARD doesn’t show up in the Password Item but you can add it to the Comments attribute.
View > Show Keychains
Highlight all the Apple Remote Desktop Password Items in the users keychain
Edit > Copy
Click on ARD under Keychain Files
Edit Paste
Backup the new keychain ( ~/Library/Keychains/ARD ) to a server or burn to CD.
—import already defined ARD Computer Lists
Open Keychain Access.
View > Show Keychains
File > Add Keychain
Add the ARD keychain that we created from above
Click on ARD under Keychain Files
Highlight all the Apple Remote Desktop Password Items.
Edit > Copy
Click on the users keychain under Keychain Files
Edit Paste
Click on ARD under Keychain Files
File > Delete “ARD” > Delete References
