Macintosh clients with apostrophes in the computer name, as defined in System Preferences/Sharing, do not appear correctly in Resource Manager.
This is actually a function of the Mac OS X operating system. It creates a hostname from the name specified in System Preferences by removing the apostrophes and changing spaces to dashes. See the following chart for more information.
Mac client – System Preferences/sharing computer name: | Test User’s Mac Pro |
