PcAnywhere v12 via Remote Desktop Windows 2003 Server

I currently have PcAnywhere v12 loaded on a Windows 2003 Ent R2 Terminal Server Sp1 with critical updates.
The problem I am experiencing is that when I remote desktop to the terminal server with a non-admin account I am unable to launch PcAnywhere.
I am launching using the command, awrem32.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\pcAnywhere\Remotes\host.CHF"
A login prompt displays, credentials are entered, select OK, and then a quick flash appears. The window does not appear for console of the remote host. Awrem32.exe is in the task manager running though.

If I add the same user to the local administrators group and launch PcAnywhere the same way the connection is sucessful, the remote connection is displayed.

What is preventing non-admin users from launching PcAnywhere? Thank you.

I downloaded the PcAnywhere 12.5 and it was a success. I am able to remote desktop to the server and launch PcAnywhere Remote, and have the remote host console appear.
It appears v12.0 was never really 100% compatible with a Windows 2003 Terminal Server.

Thank you

That's Great!
