Agreed - although I think I know at least one reason why you might have that opinion of remote.exe

http://www.sans.org/top20/

its listed as an application to remove when hardening a system against vulnerabilities.

I've used it before. Any remote tool like that should be used with
caution but I don't know of any security issues with the tool.

Is anyone using the Remote.exe utility from the "Support tools" located
on the Windows 2003 Server CD.
I am a bit suspicious about the security level of this tool
