Locking a computer or logging off a user during a remote management session Symantec pcAnywhere lets you remotely lock a host computer or log off the user who is logged on to the host computer during a remote management session. The remote management session ends after you send the command. You can configure options for saving data and notifying the host user about the action that you are about to perform. For the log off command, you can prompt users to close open programs and save their work. You can also configure pcAnywhere to forcibly close open programs without saving data. This lets pcAnywhere close programs that might require user interaction to end a task (for example, saving a document). Some programs do not support forcible termination. The lock computer option is available on Windows XP/2003 Server/2000/NT only. If the host computer is running Windows Me/98, this command starts the Windows screen saver if one is configured on the host computer. For added security, the host user can password-protect the screen saver. This command does not support Windows XP Fast User Switching.
