Deleting Apple Remote Desktop Lists You can delete Apple Remote Desktop computer lists and scanner lists that you created. You cannot delete the All Computers list, Task Server list, or Task History list. To delete a list: m Select the list and press the Delete key. Creating a Smart Computer List You can create a computer list which automatically populates based on custom criteria.

You can match any or all of the following criteria:  Name  IP Address  DNS Name  Label  Apple Remote Desktop version  Startup Volume  Installed RAM  CPU Information  Machine Model  Mac OS version  Computer is in List In order to use a smart list which populates from any list except the All Computers list, you need to add the "Computer is in List" criterion and specify the source list. 54 Chapter 4 Organizing Client Computers Into Computer Lists
