To add a computer to a computer list, you rst authenticate to the computer.
Authenticated computers are found in the All Computers list in the Remote Desktop
window. You can add a computer to the All Computers list without authenticating, but
can’t administer the client until you provide a valid user name and password.
Finding Clients by Using Bonjour
You can use Bonjour to display a list of only the computers in your default Bonjour
domain with Remote Desktop enabled. Typically this includes only your local subnet,
but this may include other subnets. All other client discovery methods display
computers regardless of whether they have Remote Desktop enabled.
To add clients found through Bonjour:
1 Select a scanner at the left of the Remote Desktop window.
2 Choose Bonjour.
3 Select the desired computers.
4 Drag the selected computers to the All Computers list.
