Configuring a remote computer to use directory services
Prior to configuring a host computer to use directory services, you should configure
the directory service by going to the pcAnywhere Edit menu and clicking
Preferences.
For more information, see Chapter 5, "Integrating pcAnywhere with directory
services" in the Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide
If your administrator has configured pcAnywhere to use directory services, you
can configure the remote computer to search the directory server for available
hosts. Only the host computers that are registered on the directory server appear
in the search results. Depending on the configuration and size of your network,
this type of search is typically faster and more reliable than scanning an entire
network for available hosts.
For more information, see the Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide.
