- My job is switching from Windows Mobile Smartphones to 8830's. I'm looking for some simple software that I can use to remotely start and stop services, reboot the servers and other troubleshooting tasks as well as telnet capabilities into a couple of servers I'm responsible for. Is there software like that for the BB? I'm not really looking for realtime desktop features like the Mobile Desktop. Something a little less fancy to do the basics to keep the servers running. This is my first visit here. TIA.

I can manage my server, SQL server, BB Server, IIS server, file server, add user, groups, unlock accounts.... the list goes on...05-05-08 01:37 PMLike 0 - We personally use Mobile Admin from rove mobile (can't post url it seems, not enough post on this board) and I'm pretty satisfied with it (although I have not tried any other).

I see people mention SSH, but to be honest with you, I don't know what that is. All I really need is Services control, reboot control and telnet. Will Mobile Admin do these 3 things? Thanks.
Edit: Wow, $495 for Mobile Admin!! That is way too much for the few things I need to be able to do. Does anyone know if Mobile Desktop is basically like a BB version of VNC or can you go directly to admin tools or services without having to navigate to them on your tiny BB screen?

- So this is kind of like a vpn replacement for devices that can't run standard VPN software? Which leads me into another question. Is there VPN software for the BB? As you can tell, I'm really new to this. I have always used EV-DO laptops and pcAnywhere to do all my remote support. Thanks.

Mobile Desktop displays the screen of your server on your BlackBerry and lets you control the mouse and keyboard, while Mobile Admin was designed to be a faster and simpler interface (navigation menus are in your BB screen vs. viewing your Desktop screen and navigating from it). Mobile Desktop is a VNC and Remote Desktop client and will allow you to perform everything you�re looking but at a much more affordable price of $95.

Thank you for all the useful information. I was just talking to a Sprint Solutions Consultant and he advised that your software was well liked by his colleagues.
I will look into it further. Once the 8830's arrive, I guess I can test your products and see which fits my needs best. Thanks again.
