  • Rediscover the servers or go back to the Remote Server Discovery page.

  • Manually discover the servers using either the IP address or the host name.

    See Manually Discovering Servers.

  • Using the check boxes of different operating system types, you can select only those servers that are associated with that particular operating system, to be displayed.
  • Specify the IP address of the server in the search box to display that particular server.
