00:06.100 --> 00:11.200
Now that you're familiar with the basics of the Apple remote desktop interface, let's talk about getting

00:11.200 --> 00:12.580
some clients into the console.

00:13.210 --> 00:14.530
We do this using the scanner.

00:15.010 --> 00:19.780
Click on the scanner on the left, you have a drop down menu here with various different ways that you

00:19.780 --> 00:20.920
can scan for clients.

00:22.320 --> 00:27.150
By default, Bonjour and local network probably are going to be the easiest ones for most people to

00:27.150 --> 00:32.110
use because it scans on the same subnet as this workstation is right now.

00:32.340 --> 00:38.160
So in a small business or in a home network where there's probably not a bunch of segmented IP address

00:38.160 --> 00:43.290
subnets, you likely will have the your computer that you're administrating with on the same network

00:43.290 --> 00:44.610
as all of your other clients.

00:45.700 --> 00:50.710
However, if you're in a larger company or a larger enterprise business where you have multiple subnets,

00:50.950 --> 00:53.460
you may actually have to choose a network range.

00:53.470 --> 00:59.080
You may even have to enter multiple ranges to be able to find all the clients on your network.

00:59.560 --> 01:06.190
So, for example, here, I can cross these out here and I'll just put in and say I've got another network

01:06.190 --> 01:11.920
segment where I have some clients that they're outside of what IP address range my currently is sitting

01:11.920 --> 01:12.090
in.

01:12.340 --> 01:17.080
So maybe it's ten to one to two hundred one.

01:18.160 --> 01:23.850
To two hundred, up to five for let's say I can scan that range and see if there's any match.

01:23.890 --> 01:28.830
Now, I actually don't have that on my network, so I'm not going to show me any of these IP or any

01:28.830 --> 01:30.810
of these Macs with this IP range.

01:31.140 --> 01:32.090
But you get the idea.

01:34.130 --> 01:38.420
You can also specify a network address if you know the specific IP address of the one client you're

01:38.420 --> 01:39.080
trying to add.

01:39.380 --> 01:40.480
You can enter it here.

01:40.790 --> 01:44.870
You also have the option to do it via a shortcut down here at by address.

01:46.300 --> 01:51.370
So for our purposes, because I'm on a small network, I'm just going to choose local network and let

01:51.370 --> 01:51.930
it scan.

01:51.940 --> 01:56.500
And as you can see, it's doing a little wagon wheel here and it's scanning and it's finding different

01:56.500 --> 01:57.130
devices.

01:57.130 --> 02:02.530
And you can see that sometimes it does find my max, of course, but it also finds other devices that

02:02.530 --> 02:04.980
are on my network, but may not actually be a Mac.

02:05.070 --> 02:07.390
May not actually be able to be used with remote desktop.

02:07.600 --> 02:11.620
For example, a couple of my Apple TVs are listed here as well as my router.

02:12.430 --> 02:17.200
We'll go ahead and stop the scan because we found the machines that we were looking for, which is my

02:17.200 --> 02:20.350
Mac Pro and you Demis MacBook Pro.

02:20.530 --> 02:21.790
So I'm going to go ahead and add these.

02:22.030 --> 02:27.160
All I have to do is just click and drag and you can also have multiples if you want to do them.

02:27.760 --> 02:30.010
At the same time, you can add multiple machines.

02:30.850 --> 02:34.960
So I'm going to do them one at a time so you'll do a click and drag into all computers.

02:35.860 --> 02:39.940
And it asked me for my username and password or pre populated this local password.

02:39.940 --> 02:42.020
I'm going to go ahead and add.

02:42.400 --> 02:45.370
Now you can see that it's actually additive because I have a little blue dot there.

02:46.040 --> 02:48.340
So let's go ahead and add the other one.

02:48.370 --> 02:48.970
Drag and drop.

02:48.970 --> 02:52.300
The computers actually have a different username and password for this one.

02:52.300 --> 02:55.090
So I'll go ahead and enter that now.

02:59.910 --> 03:03.690
And I also show you here, if for some reason you don't know the password right now, but you want to

03:03.690 --> 03:09.720
add it anyways, you can still uncheck this verify username password before adding inital at it.

03:09.720 --> 03:13.560
But the problem, you'll have the time you go to interact with it, you'll still have to authenticate

03:13.560 --> 03:13.940
to it.

03:14.160 --> 03:16.750
So it just basically prolongs the inevitable.

03:16.770 --> 03:19.440
So I like to go ahead and authenticate at the time that I add.

03:22.050 --> 03:26.190
All right, now that I've added those clients, you can see I've got blue dots on each of them and also

03:26.190 --> 03:30.080
go over here to all computers and I can see them listed here as well.

03:30.840 --> 03:35.940
So it gives me some information here, gives me their current IP addresses, shows me the current applications

03:35.940 --> 03:38.490
are running and it shows me the users that are logged in.

03:38.490 --> 03:42.210
And it shows me what version of Mac OS are running Mac OS version.

03:42.210 --> 03:47.160
And the Apple remote desktop version are tied together because you actually have the client built into

03:47.160 --> 03:48.000
the operating system.

03:49.530 --> 03:52.740
So while I've got these in this all computers group, I'm going to break these out.

03:52.750 --> 03:56.010
I'm actually going to move you Demis MacBook Pro in the lab.

03:56.020 --> 04:00.210
One hundred and I'm going to leave my Mac Pro basically just here by itself.

04:00.220 --> 04:01.830
So I'm not going to interact with it very much.

04:02.610 --> 04:04.800
So I'm going to keep it here in case I need to get to it.

04:05.040 --> 04:10.050
But where I want to focus, most of my attention is going to be in my main building and in this computer

04:10.050 --> 04:10.590
list here.

04:12.290 --> 04:16.250
Let's say I want to briefly touch on is how to modify these columns in your lists.

04:17.000 --> 04:20.270
So select the lists that you want to modify, which in this case is why one hundred?

04:21.560 --> 04:24.050
Go to view choose view options.

04:25.130 --> 04:29.060
And then you're given this little window here and you'll see this is lab one hundred here, and then

04:29.060 --> 04:31.430
you can check or uncheck the various columns you want to see.

04:32.530 --> 04:39.430
So by default, I've got my version, I've got current application, current status, name, OS version,

04:39.670 --> 04:42.850
IP address, and that's a pretty good set for whatever reason.

04:42.850 --> 04:49.020
I may want my DNS name in here or I may want a computer, one of these computer info fields.

04:49.030 --> 04:54.430
And if you can remember from earlier, we talked a little bit about these custom fields and I had used

04:54.430 --> 05:00.070
my computer asset tag, the label that was stuck on my machine as one of my custom fields.

05:00.310 --> 05:03.670
So you can see when I check that I have that added here as well.

05:03.790 --> 05:07.600
I can also remove some of these if I really don't care what version of a card they're running.

05:07.710 --> 05:09.820
I don't really care about what operating system they're running.

05:09.970 --> 05:11.890
I can modify that as well.

05:12.790 --> 05:16.240
I'll turn those back on because I do care to close those out.

05:16.330 --> 05:20.440
And then you can also, like any other application, rearrange these columns so that they make the most

05:20.440 --> 05:21.020
amount of sense.

05:21.310 --> 05:26.970
So if you're most concerned about, say, what application they're currently running and if the use

05:27.100 --> 05:30.160
what users logged in and the current status of that machine, you can do that.

05:30.350 --> 05:37.450
And then, of course, you can also click on this to sort them alphabetically by name or by any of these

05:37.450 --> 05:39.600
other IP address would be numerically.

05:40.120 --> 05:41.130
So you have the option.

05:41.160 --> 05:42.730
Click on these and restart them as well.

05:42.730 --> 05:44.650
If you have multiple machines in your list.

05:45.460 --> 05:49.390
Now that we have some machines in our console and we've arranged the console into some different lists

05:49.390 --> 05:53.320
and groups, we're ready to start interacting with these machines, which we'll do next.
