[THIN] Re: OT - Remote Control your farm via PDA

I haven't used this on a large scale, but LogMeIn IT Reach has a great PDA
functionality.  All of the common tasks - reboot server, restart service,
check event log - have simple HTML menus, so it works great from a PDA.  No
need to resize a Windows tool if you can get a custom menu!

The cost is a little high, but for some of your critical servers it might be
worth it.  Security is good, I know LogMeIn gets a bad rap for letting users
get around firewalls, but at the same time it's one of the few remote
control apps that have been recognized as HIPAA-compatible.

Does anyone out there do anything funky for remote support such as using a
PDA to remote control your Citrix servers?

Does such a thing exist and is it usable?

A PDA Phone that could do this would be so much better than lugging a
laptop
on weekends (obviously size may be an issue but portability would be
great)..

Thanks
