Configuring a host computer to use directory services
If your administrator has configured pcAnywhere to use directory services, you
can configure the host computer to register itself with the directory server upon
startup. This lets remote users who connect to the directory server find your
computer. As the host status changes, the host computer updates its entry in the
directory server so that remote computers can see the current status.
For more information, see the Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide.
