Configuring a host computer to use directory services If your administrator has configured pcAnywhere to use directory services, you can configure the host computer to register itself with the directory server upon startup. This lets remote users who connect to the directory server find your computer. As the host status changes, the host computer updates its entry in the directory server so that remote computers can see the current status.
