Re: SBS2003 Screensaver - stopped activating?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Are you aware that running PC Anywhere on your server may have detrimental
effects on performance and reliability? Why use it, it is not needed. You
can connect using Remote Desktop Client included with WinXP. RDP Service is
alread running on server for that particular reason. As far as screensaver
on server, set it so that it goes blank rather then using CPU cycles for
something useless. Dont take this message as me being a prick.
