“Are you concerned if Windows Mobile devices of your company are actually being used by the workers for business purposes only and not for personal use? An open Windows Mobile device provides opportunity for users to use the device for entertainment and gaming purposes which results in decreased productivity. Users can also corrupt the device settings intentionally or unintentionally.”

While solutions exist to lock down Windows Mobile such as Systems Center Mobile Device Manager, an easier solution for specific applications may be found in SureLock. SureLock also costs less than other solutions, making it a viable option for deployment on a budget. Trial download available if you’re looking to test out it’s lock-down abilities.

Automation still isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Case and point? The last post never made it to Twitter or anywhere else beyond this website. Perhaps this one will, but I’m not holding by breath… Continue reading

Update: Automation sounds simple in theory, but can be a pain in practice. Going to bed now, will fight more tomorrow!…

One man’s diatribe on the horrors of blog publication, cross posting, and self-referential hell. Continue reading

I sleep with a wife to the left of me, a laptop to the right of me. And I have a bad habit – when Outlook “Dings” saying I have new mail at 1 AM, I like to look at my pocket PC (also to the right of me) and see what it is. It’s sick, I know, but it’s indicative of my overall connectedness.
Anyway, my solution to this for many years has been to simply mute the laptop, however I don’t always remember to do that (Come to think of it, I don’t always remember to do a lot of mundane things like that…). Today I set up a solution I used to have on my Compaq before I re-imaged it a few months back, a wonderful freeware command-line… Continue reading

“Trend Micro Incorporated has announced the latest version of its mobile device security solution. The release of Trend Micro Mobile Security (TMMS) 5.0, with data encryption and authentication, mitigates mobile security challenges such as security breaches and data leakage while allowing enterprise administrators to manage security for handheld devices from a single console. The company says mobile devices have become small, powerful computers with large data storage capacities and growing network bandwidth. A remote and mobile workforce utilizing mobile applications on their handhelds are at risk for losing confidential and sensitive information critical to their companies. Mobile applications such as push e-mail, customer relationship management, and field service automation boost convenience and productivity, but make data vulnerable. Enterprises need to ensure that both data and mobile devices are secure and… Continue reading

Server is a very subjective term for me.  To me, a server is anything that runs services to be used by other computers.  Granted, this definition turns every computer I own into a server (since they run P2P apps (And I mean old-skool peer-to-peer windows smb networking kind – not that new fangled stuff)).  So I guess my definition should be something like:
A computer that primarily runs services to be accessed by other computers.
There, now under that definition, only my Genesis box qualifies for ’server’ status.  It runs Win2k Server with MS Exchange on it.  Great test bed for a windows applications.  It used to be a suse box, but eventually (about 2 months ago) I realized I needed a MS box back for some house-running tasks (i.e. home automation… Continue reading
