You can administer client computers individually, but most Apple Remote Desktop
features can be used to manage multiple computers at the same time. For example,
you may want to install or update the same applications on all the computers
in a particular department. Or you may want to share your computer screen to
demonstrate a task to a group of users, such as students in a training room.

Acomputer list is a group of computers. You can easily administer the computers
similarly, observe them as a group, or perform other management tasks. When you
perform management tasks on a computer list, the tasks are run on every computer
in the list.
A particular computer can belong to more than one list, giving you a lot of exibility
for multicomputer management. A computer can be categorized by its type (laptop,
desktop), its physical location (building 3, 4th oor), its use (marketing, engineering,
computing), and so forth.
Once you’ve set up computer lists, you can perform most of the computer
administration activities described next for groups of client computers.
