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.

  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.
