What is remoteComputerName?

This read-only DisplayString (up to 128 characters) holds the name of the computer running the pcAnywhere Remote application, and exists solely as a bindable variable for SNMP traps. An admin sees this value populated in traps like pcaHostInSession to identify which remote machine initiated a connection to the host. A value of "LAPTOP-JDOE" in a pcaHostInSession trap tells the admin that machine is the one currently remotely controlling the host.
