Re: Finding PC Anywhere on Client Machines

["Jason Sheffield" <jsheffield () symantec com>]

Terry,
  If you have a Corporate version of pcA 10.0, it includes a utility called
RAPS (Remote Access Perimeter Scanner), which is a special purpose "war
dialer" that supports TCP/IP, TAPI, and CAPI address and will look for
pcAnywhere, LapLink, Carbon Copy, ReachOut, Timbuktu, PC Duo, Virtual
Network Computing (VNC), NetMeeting, NetBus, Terminal Server, Citrix
Server, X Server, PPP Server, and Windows RAS Server.  If it finds a
pcAnywhere client running in an insecure fashion (no username or password),
it will shut down the client.  This utility is not included in any of the
consumer "yellow box" versions.

Short of using ISS or war dialing, does anyone know of other
tools/methods to locate installed versions of PC Anywhere on client
machines?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
