Chapter 4 Organizing Client Computers into Computer Lists 57
File import also lets you add ranges of IP addresses by expressing the range in the
following format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. For example, a text le with the line
“192.168.0.2-192.168.2.200” would add all IP addresses in that address range.
To import a list of computers from a le
1 Select a scanner at the left of the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select File Import.
3 Browse for the le by clicking the Open File button, or drag a le into the window.
Alternatively, you can enter the le’s pathname in the File eld.
All responding clients are listed in the Remote Desktop window.
4 Select the desired computers.
5 Drag the selected computers to the All Computers list.

administrator.

Finding Clients by Using a Directory Server
When you view the directory server scanner, you see all client computers that the task
server knows about and are in computer groups in directory servers you’re bound to.
In Mac OS X version 10.6 or later, you bind to directory servers in the Accounts pane of
System Preferences. In earlier versions of Mac OS X, you use Directory Utility to bind to
directory servers.
