I know what you’re saying…who doesn’t?  Well aside from the haters, I don’t know.  I mean, they rock.  It does not just rock on till about 11:30…it rocks on till the break-o-dawn.

Case in point.  So a couple of guys from my current client and I were riding back to San Antonio from Corpus Christi after visiting with some branch offices.  We got a call that a branch was having printer problems.  We were already too far to turn around and were out in the middle of nowhere, but I did have a pretty good signal.  So I VPN’ed in to the client’s network using iPhone’s built in Cisco ipsec VPN client.

Connect to VPN

Then I used WinAdmin to remotely connect to the print server. 

Log on to server

After some inspection I noticed an admin had typed in a bogus share name, which prevented the logon script from mapping the printer.

Correct printer share

I fixed the share name and the users were good to go.  All of this while traveling at 70 MPH on I37.  How hard does that rock?

To preclude the chastisments, no, I was not driving and yes I know you can do the same thing from any Windows Mobile device.  The fact that 2 devices can do the same cool thing does not make one or the other less cool…hater.
