To distribute host files

  1. Right-click on a Configuration Group in the MMC left window pane.

  2. Choose Distribute pcAnywhere Files

  3. Select the PC you want to distribute the file to from the dialog box.

  4. Select the file to distribute and Click OK.

After the connection items have been distributed, you can start, stop, and connect to any managed host by right-clicking on any system in the Configuration Group list or the Microsoft Windows Network list.

The pcAnywhere standard installation installs an ADMIN.BHF file in the CMS subfolder in the pcAnywhere program directory. This file can be configured prior to installing to allow you to customize the settings to satisfy your organization's requirement.

Selecting Start Administrator Host from the Host Administrator Snap-In, runs the ADMIN.BHF host file.

Selecting Connect from the Host Administrator Snap-In, runs a corresponding ADMIN11.CHF file that connects to the selected host.
