Guest C C Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hello. Sorry if this is not the right newsgroup but I'm looking for a mobile device that is capable of basic server management. I have a Palm One PDA which I no longer use because the touch screen calibration is way off. I have had replaced by Palm One four times within the past 11 months. Now that my extended warranty is done, I will not buy a Palm One device anymore. With this, when it was still useable, I can connect it to the Internet via Bluetooth to my wireless phone and VPN over to our LAN at work and then use a VNC client for the Palm to control my desktop at work and manage servers in our domain. So I'm looking to replace my phone/PDA with a single device. This device must be wifi capable so in case I'm within a wifi hotspot, I'll use the wifi instead of wireless phone. BTW my carrier is Sprint - in the USA. Thanks in advance.

Personally I'm using a Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone and remote desktop isn't fun. -- Jabez Gan Microsoft MVP: Windows Server http://www.msblog.org "C C" <someone@atsbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:%23ysPfxLpIHA.5916@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hello.

I need something which I can RDP to servers to manage simple tasks like stop/start services, unscheduled reboot, etc. "Jabez Gan [MVP]" <mingteikg@blizNOSPAMhosting.com> wrote in message news:4EDD59E4-9DCF-4790-83F9-90D4BB0F1BC7@microsoft.com... > Hi, > > take a look at > http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/2007/07/02/windows-mobile-remote-desktop-connection/ > > Any PDA which runs WIndows Mobile PDA (or Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional > should work).

Guest C C Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Re: Mobile device that capable of managing servers Yes, I did. I downloaded the file from one of the links there. But I don't have the device yet. It's still a plan - to consolidate 2 devices into one smartphone/pda combo. My contract with the wireless carrier ends in June.
