I used to use it about ten years ago to access my office computer from
home.  It was a "cool" thing to have, but the "security" on it always
did tend to scare me.  Maybe the newer version is better, but the one I
was using was just basically a password (no username required).  If you
figured it out, you're in and have complete control.

 When Dynamic Microprocessor owned the product, it was PFM.  I used 
PCAnywhere extensively to support remote clients way back in the late
80's. 
But now, it has long outgrown its usefulness (IMO) given terminal
services 
and remote desktop's availability...  My assumption is that these
"mission 
critical" application supporters are simply ignorant or not willing to 
expand their knowledge of current, securable, and reliable remote 
administration tools available as embedded services (and free) within
any 
current operating system.

PCAnywhere does not belong on any server, anywhere, for any reason.  I'd

volunteer as the shoe checker at the Reno airport before I would load
that 
product on a server, or even a desktop for that matter.

A lot of people swear by it, I've seen it used in mission critical 
applications even.

His issue is with pcAnywhere.

This application should NOT be installed on a server. It replaces the MS

gina and is nor reversable.

Rebuild both your dc's, set up the vpn's and allow intra domain 
communications as per the MS Knowledge base recommendatins for Intra
Domain 
communications through a firewall.

I have replied on the bbs. (Well there's an antique term)....:))
