The Mobile Admin server software is installed on a single server on the network and allows for instant management of all other systems, without the need to install any agent software on the systems to be managed.&quot;</em></p><br /><p>OK, as someone who travels and administers Windows server, I can really empathize with those that this software would help. Being able to manage Active Directory, Exchange, Domino, BES, Citrix, oracle, VMWare, and more from my handheld sounds like a godsend. However at the price of $495 <em>per user</em>, I have a hunch that only those with deep I.T. budgets will be able to afford this offering (And I totally understand this software is for a niche market, hence the higher price - but $495 is probably the highest price I've ever seen for a Windows Mobile application). It's a shame too, because if it was around $99 for a single user license, I most likely would have bought it already... </p><br /><p>There is a trial available, and I'm sure some of our readers have the budget and need for this software. If you're one of them, let us know how it is!</p>

Before v4.0 it was pricier...$295 per server. Now it's $495 per user, which is for an unlimited number of servers.

If you're a System Admin who manages multiple organizations, it could save you money by giving you the freedom to do all of your administration remotely and take on more clients.
