To edit the Quick Deploy and Connect host properties
1
In Advanced View, on the left navigation bar, under pcAnywhere Manager,
click Quick Deploy and Connect.
2
In the left pane, under Actions, select one of the following:

The Quick Deploy and Connect host for Windows supports the Microsoft Windows
Preinstallation Environment (WinPE). You can build a preinstallation environment
that launches a thin host as a self-extracting executable file upon system startup.
When the preinstallation environment starts, the host automatically begins
running. This lets you remotely connect to the host to perform maintenance and
repairs, such as imaging or disk recovery.
For more information about WinPE, see your Microsoft documentation.
