Rove Mobile Admin [Software for iPhone]

In a number of companies network infrastructure built on Windows Server, Active Directory (AD) and other Microsoft products. Therefore, administrators often require monitoring tool for its "patrimony" or solve urgent problems, if they are away from the workplace. On the one hand, this problem is solved with the help of the notebook / netbook, but you can do the usual iPhone application and Rove Mobile Admin.

In addition to controlling the above Windows Server and AD from your smartphone, you can manage Cluster Services, DHCP, DNS, Exchange Server, Hyper-V, IIS and SQL Server. If this is not enough, the list mozhei be extended with Citrix, HP Integrated Lights-Out, IBM Lotus Domino, Novell NetWare, Oracle, RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server, RSA, Symantec Backup Exec, VMware and more more.

And even if you have installed the software, which is not supported by the application, you can do all things "the old fashioned way" by using Remote Desktop (RDP) client, via Telnet or SSH.

To operate the product on a domain controller or a server you need to install a special component, which requires .NET Framework 2.0 and exists in three main editions: ProPlus, Professional and Basic. The differences therebetween are described in detail in

special page developers. I note that in most cases, may be enough Basic-version. After a short installation, you can run, and the application itself, accessible from the App Store. Also can be controlled with the help of iPod touch, BlackBerry, Google Android, Windows Mobile, and so on.

The first thing that caught my eye - it's pretty simple and neat interface. screen device offers the user does not have much space, but the mobile application allows you to use a limited space effectively.

Throughout the trial period at work I occasionally turned to some menu items and I can say that their organization is clear and intuitive. Also, I liked the work on the RDP, remote viewing services and system magazines, as well as user management in AD - changing passwords is the most demand task. But even for that there is no need to return to the workplace.

In general, the prospect of solving network problems during your vacation or holiday with friends in the country is not the rainbow, but I will do everything in my power, with the help of user-friendly tools.
