Automatic updating of computer list in ARD

Hello,

 

Given the wonders of Automator and Applescript and unix scripting, I’m thinking there must be a way to do this.

 

As a scheduled item, I want to have ARD refresh all of the scanners I’ve set up, and add any Macs it finds to the “All Computers” list.  We have a standard naming convention and a standard local admin account on every Mac, so I could write these items into the script.

 

Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?  A cursory browse of the Automator actions and Applescript dictionary for ARD didn’t give me much to go on.  Unfortunately, the ‘record script’ feature in Applescript Editor wasn’t any help either.

 

Thanks in advance.
