Finding Clients by Searching the Local Network

When you choose a local network scanner, Remote Desktop sends a subnet broadcast
to computers on the same subnets as the administrator computer. All possible clients
on the local subnets appear in a list on the right side of the Remote Desktop window.

To search for clients on the local network:

1

Select a scanner at the left of the Remote Desktop window.

2

Choose Local Network.

All responding clients are listed in the Remote Desktop window.

3

Select the desired computers.

4

Drag the selected computers to the All Computers list.

5

Authenticate by providing a user name and password for an Apple Remote Desktop
administrator.

The computer is now in your All Computers list.
