    Agreed - although I think I know at least one reason why you might have that opinion of remote.exe

    http://www.sans.org/top20/

    its listed as an application to remove when hardening a system against vulnerabilities.

    I've used it before. Any remote tool like that should be used with
    caution but I don't know of any security issues with the tool.

    Is anyone using the Remote.exe utility from the "Support tools" located
    on the Windows 2003 Server CD.
    I am a bit suspicious about the security level of this tool
