Creating an Apple Remote Desktop Computer List

You can make more specific, targeted lists of computers from your All Computers list. The easiest way to make a new list is to use computers already in the All Computers list. You can also create blank lists and add computers to them later.

To create an Apple Remote Desktop computer list:

1Select the All Computers list icon in the main Remote Desktop window.

2Select the computers you want to add to the new list.

3Choose File > New List From Selection.

4Name the computer list.

Alternatively, you can choose File > New List to create a blank list and drag computers from the All Computers list, or from the scanner search results, to the blank list.

Deleting Apple Remote Desktop Lists

You can delete Apple Remote Desktop computer lists and scanner lists that you created. You cannot delete the All Computers list, Task Server list, or Task History list.

To delete a list:

mSelect the list and press the Delete key.

Creating a Smart Computer List

You can create a computer list which automatically populates based on custom criteria. Once you create a smart list, any computer added to the All Computers list (or other specified list) which matches the criteria will automatically be added to the smart list.

You can match any or all of the following criteria:

ÂName

ÂIP Address

ÂDNS Name

ÂLabel

ÂApple Remote Desktop version

ÂStartup Volume

ÂInstalled RAM

ÂCPU Information

ÂMachine Model

ÂMac OS version

ÂComputer is in List

In order to use a smart list which populates from any list except the All Computers list, you need to add the “Computer is in List” criterion and specify the source list.
