PC Anywhere Plugin

June 4th, 2009
Hi all
I just installed CMS 7 and I noticed that when I deploy a client with the PC anywhere plugin it uninstalls any other version of PC anywhere.
I wanted to know if it was possible to install the PC anywhere plugin without this happening?
Thanks

otdadmin, I doubt that this
otdadmin,
I doubt that this is possible. The way that PCA has to be installed (in particular the drivers, etc) would preclude this from happening. Are you concerned from a client side or from the "Helpdesk" or IT side, i.e. you want to hve the PCA plugin and a stand-alone PCA 11 console?? I believe the PCA Plugin is backwards compatible with at least version 11 of PCA...?
Thanks,

Yes are help desk uses PC
Yes are help desk uses PC Anywhere 12.1, when I install altiris on there machines will they be able to continue to use this version of PC anywhere? and will it confilct with altiris?
They have a lot of shared components.
They have a lot of shared components so it will be a one or the other. You could set a rule so that the help desk folks don't get the Solution version of pcA deployed would be all I can think to keep the full 12.1 inplace.
Cheers.
