I have two virtualized (VMWare) Boston Workstation machines that I use daily. One is a Developers and the other is a runtime license. I use Remote Desktop to check on them. I have never had any problems with them other then the fact that some windows apps lose "focus" if the machine gets locked. I just leave them unlocked and minimized on my workstation in order to keep them running.

Or IT area is recommending this; however, for us, we have historically been using PC Anywhere to check on scripts. My understanding is you can no longer do this on a virtual PC... so what are the necessary tools at that point? Any help you can provide would be great.

Users can do funny things - not what you want them to do - like accept a re-bootable automatic update, work in an application that locks up the PC, accidently kick the plug, shut down that little B thing because they don't know what it is, spill coffee on the keyboard. So your scripts will need "the unexpected" recovery abilities - the tip Brian sent about Status earlier is a definite must do. Virtual machines are a great alternative for maximizing the use of hardware. Regards, Thom Thom C.
