Abstract: Optimizations are provided for reliably configuring an on-premise server using configuration data stored at a cloud-based service. An on-premise server polls the cloud-based service to determine whether any new configuration changes are available for the on-premise server to implement. In response to an indication that a new configuration change is available for the on-premise server, the on-premise server performs a validation to determine whether the new configuration change is committable by the on-premise server. Afterwards, the on-premise server receives the new configuration change and then attempts to commit to that new configuration change.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards remotely monitoring and/or managing a server computing environment using a mobile computer, such as a smart phone. The server transmits information about the server computing environment and the mobile computer receives the transmission and displays the information. A user of the mobile computer may request additional information from the server, which may be sent to and displayed on the mobile computer. A user may also perform various actions in the server computing environment as directed via the mobile computer.
