Servers Scan

The first time the agent starts, it displays only your local computer in the File Servers list. When you run the agent subsequently, it displays all the computers found in all previous scans. You must expand any collapsed network branches to see these computers.

• In the File Servers list, when you expand a collapsed network branch (such as Microsoft Windows Network or a workgroup or domain name), the agent displays any servers already known to exist in that branch.
• If no servers are known to exist in the branch, the agent automatically performs a scan as soon as you expand it.
• If you double-click the name of a server whose status indicates that it is not running the agent, that server is re-scanned to update its status, if necessary.

To force the agent to re-scan all expanded components of the network hierarchy, click Scan.

If the Console encounters more than 200 servers when scanning, it terminates the scan and reports only those servers in the recently-used list. The agent then prompts you to use Find to locate the server you want.
