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 between them in
sequence, asking if the computer is a client computer. This method is best when
searching for clients outside the local subnet, but on the local area network.

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 Scan button.

All responding clients are listed in the Remote Desktop window.

5

Select the desired computers.

6

Drag the selected computers to the Master List.

7

Authenticate by providing a login name and password for an ARD enabled
administrator.

The computer is now in your Master List.

Finding Clients by Network Address

If you know the exact IP address or fully qualified domain name of a computer, you can
use that IP address or domain name to add it to your Master List.

To search for a specific address:

1

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

2

Select Network Address.

3

Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name in the Address field.

4

Click the Scan button.

If the client successfully responds, it is listed in the Remote Desktop window.

5

Select the desired computers.

6

Drag the selected computers to the Master List.

7

Authenticate by providing a login name and password for an ARD administrator.

The computer is now in your Master List.
