For 6-8 months I think I would leave PCAnywhere in place,
not worth the testing and deployment work. I would ask the security guys to list
what specifically they are concerned about and put compensating controls into
place.
I would also go further and disable the services (or set
them to manual) and then shut them down until needed.
Actually when we had all NT4 DCs around the world we didn't
run any remote desktop software at all, we did everything remotely or with rcmd
into the NT4 servers.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT - VNC / Remote Administration
Sorry for the OT post, does anyone have any experience with VNC as a remote
tool for your servers, more specifically NT4 Servers?
We use Terminal Services or HP Remote Insight (depending on what needs
to be done) for our new core Windows 2000 AD servers for day to day
administration, however, on our legacy NT4 domain, we have a number of NT4
servers which we a planning to move over to our Windows 2000 domain but not for
another 6-8months. In this time they will still need to be remotely
administered. They currently have PCAnywhere installed on there and it's
something our security guy has recommended we removed and installed a
different package on.
any feedback?
