This feature is only available in Enterprise Edition.
The Remote button allows you to specify any folder or set of folders to search. When you choose "Remote...", the Remote Computer List dialog box will appear.
First, inside the "Add remote computer names" group, list all your remote machines that you want to search. You may list IP Addresses, NetBIOS Names, or Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN). Group them based on how you authenticate because you can specify credentials. List one computer per line (press CTRL-ENTER to go to the next line). You must specify a NetBIOS name, IP Address, or FQDN.
Second, choose whether you want Identity Finder to search all physical drives on the remote machines. If you do not check this box, Identity Finder will still authenticate using the credentials you specified, but you will need to enter the paths you want to search in the Custom Location dialog box. This allows you to search for a UNC path (i.e., \\1.2.3.4\c$).
Third, choose whether you want to authenticate with specific credentials or whether you are already authenticated. If you want to specify credentials, click the "Specify authentication credentials" checkbox and enter a username and password. If you do not specify credentials, Identity Finder will try to authenticate using pre-existing credentials on your computer. Either your currently logged in credentials must work, or you must have made a net use connection or to that computer.
All the information you enter will be saved to your Personal Information File (PIF). If you did not load this file on startup or you want to revert your changes to the last time you saved, you may press the "Load PIF" button. If you want your changes saved to your PIF, click the "Save PIF" button.
Note: After you have selected "Remote..." you will notice that the E-Mails and System groups are disabled. This is because when searching remote computers it is only possible to search their file systems.
