Setting up Windows NT authentication for global users
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you configure a server using NT authentication to
support callers from the local administrator user group and any global groups
that are included in the local group.
Using this feature, you can set up a caller account on a server for all administrators
in your company by adding a domain account to the local administrator group.
This configuration option is less time-consuming than adding an individual account
for each administrator to the local administrator group.
This feature is supported only for Windows NT authentication.
