I recently took over a position where the previos admin had installed PC
Anywhere on A win2K server for administration uses (he didnt know about
terminal services) and we dicovered that if you install SP2 on such a
configureation it will cause it to go into a un-recoverable reboot cycle.
So if you are using/thinking about useing PC Anywhere I would recommend that
you completely uninstall it before adding any srvice packs or hot fixes.

As for me I switching it over to term services.
