Product Description

Imagine you're a network administrator. You're driving back from work after a really long day or you're enjoying a family get together and you start getting paged with a dreaded "server down" message. You leave everything and rush to your office to figure out what is going on with your servers. Even if everything is OK, as an administrator you may want to keep an eye on the health and other statistics of servers from time to time. Wouldn't it be nice if you could accomplish this from a mobile device without having to rush to a computer? This article, by Amir Khan, discusses how you can use Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit, .NET Performance Counters, and Windows Task Scheduler to develop a mobile web administration website that allows you to manage your servers via mobile devices (cell phones and PDAs).

5.0 out of 5 stars One heck of an idea, March 7, 2003

By	NAVEED AHMAD (Boston, MA, USA) - See all my reviews

My application is runing on 30 production servers around the globe for which I need to provide 24/7 support. Every time I get a call from Network Operation Center I have to rush to office/home, connect to internet, access the server and take care of the problem. It's a sword constantly hanging on my neck.
In this publication Mr. Khan beautifuly describes how you can exploit services provided by Microsoft .NET Framework to construct a solution allowing you to manage your servers and applications running on them using a mobile device like PDA or web-enabled cellphone. My life is going to be easier!
