I work for a school with 1:1 MacBooks. Part of my job is to monitor the kids via Apple Remote Desktop.
I have my list of 180-some student MacBooks + the Xserve. It seems like ARD randomly decides to stop showing me the status of all of these — they all have a black icon and "--" for a status. I am still able to observe the Macs — I just can't tell which ones are online.
This is the second or third time this has happened. Last time I just trashed my ARD prefs, and that fixed it. But I don't want to have to recreate my computer lists again. Is there any other way to make this stupid app work?
EDIT: Nevermind. Trashed my prefs again and rebuilt the list. This app has gotten more and more flaky over the last few months. Now it borders on unusable. WTF, Apple?
