Generating a File Search Report

The File Search report allows you to find up to a total of 32,000 items on selected computers. The items can be files, folders, or applications, but they can only be items accessible (or visible) in the Finder.

The search parameters include:

ÂName

ÂParent path

ÂFull path

ÂExtension

ÂDate created

ÂDate modified

ÂSize on disk

ÂKind

ÂVersion number

ÂVersion string

ÂOwner

ÂGroup

ÂLock status

The search parameters for Apple Remote Desktop are slightly different from those used by the Finder’s Find command. For example, Apple Remote Desktop does not search by visibility or by label. The report display can be customized as well. See “Changing Report Layout” on page 35 for more information.

To search for software items:

1Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.

2Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.

3Choose Report > File Search.

4Choose the desired search parameter from the pop-up menu and enter a search term.

5If you want to customize the report display, do so now.

For more information about the report display, see “Changing Report Layout” on page 35 for more information.

6To search using new data, check Rebuild Data For Report; to search using saved data only, uncheck Rebuild Data For Report.
