From an IT stand point they are probably looking at making you use something similar to the VMware Infrastructure Client. You sign into this program then you get a listing of virtual PC's you have access to and you simply click on them and connect, it does the same thing as PC Anywhere, only it's a part of every virtual machine, so no additional software to install and manage. In addition it allow tracking of who logs in and out and who does what so it's more secure. You won't lose and functionality and In my opinion It's sooo much better than PCAnywhere.

I don't know where you heard that from, but it is incorrect. ________________________________ From: talk@bossoft.com [mailto:t...@bossoft.com] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 7:23 AM To: talk@bossoft.com Subject: [talkbws] RE: virtualization Do you have any documentation / recommendations or testing information on virtualization machines for scripting? Or IT area is recommending this; however, for us, we have historically been using PC Anywhere to check on scripts. My understanding is you can no longer do this on a virtual PC... so what are the necessary tools at that point? Any help you can provide would be great.

Users can do funny things - not what you want them to do - like accept a re-bootable automatic update, work in an application that locks up the PC, accidently kick the plug, shut down that little B thing because they don't know what it is, spill coffee on the keyboard. So your scripts will need "the unexpected" recovery abilities - the tip Brian sent about Status earlier is a definite must do. Virtual machines are a great alternative for maximizing the use of hardware. Regards, Thom Thom C.
