Microsoft Remote Desktop on IPhone

As a Windows administrator, there are many times where you are out and get the emergency call that a service is down and you need to come into the office. You need to drop everything and run to the office or the datacenter. Smart phones, specifically the Apple Iphone can help out. An application WinAdmin allows you to RDP into your server or desktop and work on the issue.

sounds good, what do I need to do?

Have an Iphone or Ipod Touch
Either connect through wireless broadband or WiFi
Download WinAdmin through Apple Store on your unit
Configure and connect through VPN client if outside of internal network
Start WinAdmin and add new server
connect to the server and work.
