How to clear list of servers “Choose a mac” list in OS X Server App

osx-serverserver.app

How can I clear the "Choose a Mac" list? I have 3 entries of the same machine, same ip address but different host names?

I have the latest OS X Server 5.1 installed on a Mac mini with a static ip address. I use OS X Server on my iMac (local network) to connect to it and manage the server settings. I have reinstalled OS X Server on the mac mini a couple times and used different host names. Now the list is long, with entries/logins of the same machine.

On the client mac (non-server):

Quit Server.app

Activate Finder, hit Cmd-Shift-G and navigate to ~/Library/Preferences

Find "com.apple.Server.v4.plist" and change its name to "com.apple.Server.v4.OLD.plist" or something similar. Move it to the Desktop if you wish, but don't delete it so that you can easily reinstate it if necessary.

When you reopen Server.app it should present the first-time splash screen, asking what you want to do. Select the option relating to 'another machine'.
