Remote Windows NT Administration Using Windows CE Handheld Devices
Craig Stacey, Argonne National Laboratory
Abstract
As a systems administrator on call at any time of day, I want to explore ways to manage the environment and handle emergencies remotely. In this paper, I look at a number of options for remote administration using compact devices. While the most obvious form of remote administration is a laptop computer, not every organization has the budget to provide these to their systems administrators. Also, in some situations, even a laptop computer is too large to carry around conveniently. Therefore, I evaluated three devices to determine their usefulness for remote administration. While concentrating on Windows CE devices, I included a Palm Computing handheld for comparison purposes.
