Can not Control a mac with ARD 3.2

[Perbix, Michael]

There is one big issue with ARD, it relies HEAVILY on DNS being accurate.  If you don't have DNS scavanging stale records and making sure DHCP updates DNS as IP address are handed out then you will have a LOT of mismatches.

Other utilities that have a small client that reports back to a server the current IP don't have this issue, as the active IP is always refreshed and up to date in the software.  It uses the computers client name, and IP info internally.

I answer myself : the problem was that for some clients, the DNS name
does not match the IP address of the client. If I change it to match
the IP address, I can manager the clients.

The question is : how to batch change it in ARD for clients that has
the same problem.
