This is a bit of a guess, but you might try disabling the ARD widget (don't just close it, use the Manage Widgets screen to completely disable it) and re-enabling it and see if it will then pick up your lists.

Hope this helps.

The widget simply reads from the current user's prefrences to get a list of the computers you have setup. There's not much magic here.

If ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist isn't there, it won't have anything to show.

Make sure you're logged in as the same user that you use to run the Admin application.

Ok I managed to resolve the issue and here it is.

Upon launching Remote Desktop I was always prompted for my password to use the software which I never stored in my keychain. As soon as I said store my password in the keychain and reloaded the widget I was asked to allow the widget access to my keychain and then all my lists showed ok.

Thanks again for all the help.
