Microsoft Releases App To Remotely Manage Your Server

"The Windows Server Solutions Phone Connector offered access to servers running Windows Home Server 2011, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials."

Microsoft has just released an application that will allow Windows Phone 7 handsets to manage Windows Servers remotely.  

In order to manage a server, an add-on application must installed on the server in addition to the application on the Windows Phone.  The Windows Server Solutions Phone Connector will allow access to servers running Windows Home Server 2011, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials.  You will be able to view alerts, manage backups and access media files.  

As an FYI, due to the utility provided by this application and its ability to access your server, Microsoft stresses the importance of using a phone password to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
