The newly generated report window appears. Getting Computer Information Client computers can submit comments or notes to supplement System Overview reports. These comments and notes are made on the client computer. To make changes on a client computer, you must have the name and password of a user with administrator privileges on the computer. To add comments or notes when submitting in System Overview reports: 1 On the client computer, open System Preferences and click Sharing. If the Sharing pane is locked, click the lock and then enter the user name and password of a user with administrator privileges on the computer. 2 Select Remote Management in the Sharing pane. If the client computer is running Mac OS X version 10.4 or earlier, add comments or notes by selecting Apple Remote Desktop in the Sharing pane and clicking Access Privileges. 3 Click Computer Settings. 4 In the Computer Information fields, enter comments or notes. 5 Click OK. 130 Chapter 8 Administering Client Computers
