PcAnywhere by Richard Lowe
If you ve anytime managed or had to accord with added than one computer
system, then you ve assuredly capital to be able to ascendancy one
remotely at one time or another. In my job, my agents and I administer
about a thousand computer systems (servers and workstations). Our
staff is baby and busy, and even demography the time to airing over to
a bounded arrangement can sometimes be a hassle. There is so abundant to do
and no time to do it in.
On top of that, our systems are advance all over the country, in a
dozen states on the east and west coast. There is no accessible way
we could administer those computers finer after some affectionate of
help. And if you ve anytime attempted to allocution a user through an
operating arrangement accession or a alter session, then you will
understand that this just does not plan in a accumulated
environment.
Fortunately, we begin one of the alotof advantageous articles accessible
anywhere at any cost. This little gem is alleged PcAnywhere, and it
is awash by Symantec (the bell-ringer alotof acclaimed for it s antivirus
software).
PcAnywhere allows my agents to "take over" a system, just as if
they were sitting at the keyboard and staring at the monitor.
Since PcAnywhere does depend aloft the operating system, it cannot
be acclimated to ascendancy the arrangement cossack and console, but it can do just
about annihilation abroad imaginable.
Thus, if a user has an absurdity displayed on his screen, we can
connect and see absolutely what it says (and generally what the user
did). This saves endless hours of attempting to section calm
what happened based aloft a beat user s blotchy addendum of the
occurrence, or of active over to the users apparatus to see it for
ourselves afore he did something else.
You can use the book download and upload ability to alteration
files calmly and quickly, which is accessible for avaricious files and
performing installations. You can even babble with the being on the
monitor in a separate window (I ve never done this but saw it in
the documentation).
PcAnywhere works whether or not the apparatus is logged in, and it
works actual able-bodied on Windows NT, 2000 and XP (and I accept at atomic
the added avant-garde Windows 9x operating systems). You accept some
special buttons to affair the CONTROL-ALT-DELETE arrangement if
necessary, and you can even reboot or abeyance the apparatus if
desired.
Another affection that works actual able-bodied is the some aegis options.
You can bind down the program (and it s actual able so you
probably wish to bind it actual well) as abundant as you want, and
you accept the best of several altered encryption schemes and
security models. Accept what fits your requirements best.
On the downside, PcAnywhere does use a few resources, and if it
is alive (used remotely) the user may actual able-bodied apprehension a
slowdown. The earlier versions were a little unstable, but back
version 9 we accept noticed no problems of any affectionate with the program.
One caution: PcAnywhere haveto be create actual defended as it absolutely gives
someone ascendancy over a system. Accept your aegis able-bodied and be
sure it is enforced.
I could go on for hours about the account of this program in
the accumulated environment. It has so some advantageous appearance that it
really boggles the mind. I would awful acclaim it if you accept a
need for limited control.
