Datasheet

USB Devices. Information on Universal Serial Bus devices connected to the client
computer includes product name and ID, vendor name and ID, speed, and bus power
for each device.
PCI Cards. Specific information about the PCI cards installed in a client computer
includes card name, type, memory, speed, revision (or version), vendor ID, device,
and ROM revision for each card, as well as the card’s slot location.
Network Performance. This test measures and troubleshoots the communication
between client computers and the administrator’s system. Use the report to help
identify reasons for network communication problems that could affect Apple Remote
Desktop. For example, if there are issues copying items to a particular client computer,
the Network Performance report can isolate the problem to a particular cable or hub.
Administration Settings. This report shows which Apple Remote Desktop 2 adminis-
tration privileges are enabled or disabled. These privileges can also be found in the
Sharing or Remote Desktop pane of System Preferences on individual client computers.
Software Reports
Apple Remote Desktop 2 includes three software report types, which provide details
on 16 file system attributes. The software reports can provide information on installed
application versions and a powerful file search report.
File Search. Specific information about files and folders on client systems allows
you to audit installed applications. For example, to check compliance with all license
agreements, you can discover how many copies of a particular application are in
use. You can also use File Search to search by file size, helping you identify large
files and applications that may be taking up too much space on the hard drive.
Software Version. Use this report to make sure that users have the latest, most
appropriate application versions for their systems.
Software Difference. This report can help you detect application versions that are
out of date, nonstandard, or otherwise unacceptable—or learn whether a user has
installed an unauthorized application.
