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. Finding Clients by Searching a Network Range To locate computers by network range, you provide a beginning and ending IP address to scan, and Apple Remote Desktop queries each IP address in that range in sequence, asking if the computer is a client computer. This method works best when searching for clients outside the local subnet, but on the local area network. Alternatively, you can use a text file that contains IP address ranges (in this format "192.168.0.1-192.168.3.20"), and use text file import to find clients. See "Finding Clients by File Import" on page 57. To search a range of network addresses: 1 Select a scanner at the left of the Remote Desktop window. 2 Select Network Range. 3 Enter the beginning and ending IP address. 4 Click the Refresh button. All responding clients are listed in the Remote Desktop window. 5 Select the desired computers. 6 Drag the selected computers to the All Computers list. 7 Authenticate by providing a user name and password for an Apple Remote Desktop administrator. The computer is now in your All Computers list. Chapter 4 Organizing Client Computers Into Computer Lists 55
