I use Remote Desktop Connection all the time from my mac to several Windows 2008 R2 servers. It has crashed on me a couple times, but that is very infrequent. I use an app called Palua on the Mac that automatically switches the fn key on and off based on which app is in use. https://downafil313.weebly.com/can-apple-watch-be-unlocked.html. I turn it on for VMWare Fusion too. ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) kickstart in 10.14 (mac OS 'Mojave') Traditionally, when an administrator has needed to enable remote screensharing access (via ARD/Apple Remote Desktop) for management purposes - in a programmatic way via the command-line or a payload-less package - it's been relatively straightforward to do so.
How to enable remote control on macOS 10.14 (Mojave)
The Mojave release of macOS restricts external control to allowlisted applications only. To allow remote control to a customer's device, the customer must add the GoToAssist Remote Support application to this allowlist.
On a macOS device your customer receives the following message:
'GoToAssistRemoteSupport' would like to control this computer using accessibility features.Ask your customer to:
- Open Sytem Preferences.
- Select Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibilty.
- To be able to make changes, in the bottom-left corner click the lock icon.
- When prompted, log in.
- Add the GoToAssist Remote Support application to the list and tick the box next to it.
Traditionally, when an administrator has needed to enable remote screensharing access (via ARD/Apple Remote Desktop) for management purposes - in a programmatic way via the command-line or a payload-less package - it's been relatively straightforward to do so.
This is documented by Apple here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201710
However, there are many changes in the latest version of mac OS (OS X 10.14 aka 'mac OS Mojave,') and those changes appear to result in failure using Apple's own documented method. So it appears that key (previously available) aspects of enabling remote access are being impacted by Apple's intended changes in security and privacy for 10.14.

A great debt, thanks & credit is owed (by many) to Rich Trouton, and he has documented an alternative means of enabling ARD that - in my testing so far - appears to work:
The key commands are (for example, for an intended ARD admin), where you'll need to edit to be the shortname for the user-account you intend to configure for ARD admin access - with the brackets <> . Other levels of access (com.apple.local.ard_ groups) are listed in Rich Trouton's article, adding a user to more than one appears to not work and perhaps is intentional.
Chrome Remote Desktop Review
PLEASE NOTE: The script provided below is meant to be a starting point, it's (hardly) exemplary as there's no real error checking (think about a clause to handle if the group already exists, etc.). Hopefully you'll find it useful:
It's possible to add the above as a script named: postinstall (no suffix such as .sh), and proceeded with the standard
Chrome Remote Desktop Mac Os Mojave Dmg
and included as part of a standard payload-less pkg installer. Other additions, elaborations and enhancements in any such script are left to the reader, the above is meant only as a potential starting-point. In terms of creating a ('payload-less') package installer to enact such a script, it's particularly easy to do so via Greg Neagle's excellent munkipkg, see:
