Reporting Using Task Server

You can use a computer other than the administrator computer to collect reporting

data on an automated basis. By using a computer as a Task Server, you can always be

ready for client computers to send their reporting information—while freeing up the

administrator computer for other management tasks.

Software Reports

In addition to Spotlight search, Apple Remote Desktop 3 includes three types of soft-

ware reports that provide details on ﬁle system attributes and installed application

versions, as well as the results of its powerful ﬁle search capabilities.

File Search. Speciﬁc information about ﬁles and folders on client systems allows

you to audit installed applications. For example, to check compliance with license

agreements, you can identify how many copies of a particular application are in use.

You can also use File Search to search by ﬁle size, helping you identify large ﬁles and

applications that may be taking up too much space on the hard drive.

Software Version. Use this report to make sure that users have the latest and most

appropriate application versions for their systems.

Software Diﬀerence. This report can help you detect application versions that are

out of date, nonstandard, or otherwise unacceptable—or learn whether a user has

installed an unauthorized application.
