Understanding the Remote Desktop Interface
Remote Desktop Main Window
The main window of Remote Desktop has a toolbar, a group of lists on the left, and the
task history area at the bottom.
Master List
The Master List is a list of all client computers that you plan to administer. It includes all
the clients you have authenticated to, as well as the client computers that you plan to
authenticate to. Computers need to be in the Master List before you can command or
administer them. If you have a 10-client license, the Master List can only contain 10
computers.
Scanner
Scanners find clients to add to the Master List. You can make new scanners and
customize them for your needs.
See “Making a New Scanner” on page 56.
ARD Computer Lists
An ARD computer list is a list of computers you create to group computers in ways that
are convenient for you. Any list is a subset of the client computers in the Master List
that you have selected. If you add a computer directly to a computer list, it is added
automatically to the Master List as well.
