Abstract
A method of generating a list of target devices to be configured in communication with a server is provided. A first list of target devices to be configured is created. At least one target device having an associated network address is identified and the first list of target devices is modified using the addressed target device. A modified list of target devices is then generated. Programs and systems of generating a list of target devices to be configured are also provided.
