Getting to Know Remote Desktop

C

Task configuration area: This area is different for every task. It’s where you set operating
parameters for the task to be performed.

D

Participating computers: This area shows you the computers that will be affected by the task.
You can add or remove computers in this area without changing computer list membership.

E

Schedule task button: When you click this button in a task dialog, you can set a time to
perform the task as well as repeat the task. See “Working with Scheduled Tasks” on page 170 for
more information.

F

Save task button: When you click this button in a task dialog, you can name and save the task
as configured. Saved tasks appear in the left side of Remote Desktop’s main window.

G

Task templates: This control allows you to save current task configuration settings, or apply
previously saved settings to the current task. These templates are stored on a per-task basis.
For example, the Send UNIX Commands template pop-up has an extensive list of built-in
templates, while other tasks may have none.
