SpeedTest is a mobile GUI for the website and is great for troubleshooting bandwidth issues. The two utilities I find that I use more than any other on my iPad are Ookla's SpeedTest and Textastic. Again, I won't complain about a free product. Pretty slick and efficient for what it is, although I believe it would benefit greatly from the addition of remote console capability. This app allows you start, stop, migrate, and monitor your VMs and hosts. One of the rationales for doing so is so you can use the free iPad-specific vSphere Client to allow for the basic management of your virtualized infrastructure.
If this is a deal breaker for you, you might want to consider Sapien's iPowerShell Pro.įinally, for my VMware folks, I previously wrote an article outlining the installation of the vCenter Mobile Assistant virtual appliance. Like I said, it’s a little rough and could do with some auto-completion capability and some refinements to the UI. This app allows you to tap into the PS Remote Console of your WinRM-enabled boxes and perform any task you normally would via PS. PowerShell Mobile Administrator is a little bit more raw in its development, but at a price of free that’s not a deal breaker. My only knocks with it are that there is no tree view that I can find (you have to search instead), and the price for the unlimited version is a steep $9.99 when compared to the rest of the app world. You aren't going to be doing any of the advanced tasks with this, but it’s pretty handy for changing passwords, unlocking accounts, and moving objects around between existing OUs. ADAssist is just that it allows you to manage the high points of your AD infrastructure. Specifically for the Windows Admins in the crowd, I use a pair of apps: ADAssist and PowerShell Mobile Administrator.
TEXTASTIC IPAD FULL
For best support for RDP, I recommend using Full Screen mode with the trackpad enabled-very slick.
TEXTASTIC IPAD PASSWORD
I like Remoter because it supports RDP, VNC, SSH, and Telnet, and it has a good centralized password manager and a clean interface. Since I have long been a fan of all-in-one solutions for the desktop, such as VisionApp RDP and, more recently, Devolutions' Remote Desktop Manager, I was looking for something similar for my mobile needs. There are many individual solutions for SSH, RDP, and the like. The starting point for any *Admin solution is remote access capability. In this article, I'm going to share a list of the apps that I use to make this management possible, in the hope that you'll in turn share those that make your day easier. Surprisingly, I've found that, of all the daily administrative tasks I perform as a Windows/VMware/Network/Telephony admin, I am able to perform about 90 percent of those tasks with my Apple iPad. I have to say that it is nice to have something that weighs one pound versus five or six, at a minimum, for the basics.
