Title: Block pcanywhere
Post by: Wayne Baldwin on March 28, 2001, 09:09:35 PM

Is there a way that I can block pcAnywhere from being used on a Windows workstation?

I caught a user recently dialing into their workstation from home.  Many workstations have modems for faxing, but I don't want access to my LAN from outside of the confines of my business.

This isn't an e-smith issue. If there is a phone line to a workstation, and a modem, and a recalcitrant user, then there is nothing that the server can do to prevent inbound (or outbound) modem calls. Your solution lies in creating a policy, training your users, obtaining agreement to your usage policy, monitoring and enforcement, etc.
