tell application "Remote Desktop"
make new computer at the end of computers with properties {name:"New Computer"}
end tell
2. Press the Run button.

A new computer is created in the All Computers list titled New Computer.
Actual Results:
The AppleScript Editor result view shows:
“error "Remote Desktop got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." number -10000”
