Administering Mobile Applications

Mobile applications can require more administration than LAN-based applications. In environments that need to support thousands of mobile clients, there can be an increase in administrative tasks, including:

• Installing the client database engine, databases, and application code. If offline Web access is required, you might need to install Microsoft PWS.
• Establishing security for users.
• Configuring and monitoring merge replication.
• Managing conflict resolution.
• Backing up remote databases.
