## What is ServerControl by Stratospherix?

Restart or shutdown Windows servers, monitor and manage services running on servers remotely from your iPhone, wherever you are with ServerControl.

Managing Windows servers inevitably means rebooting or restarting them. With ServerControl you can issue immediate or scheduled reboots remotely from your iPhone when out of the office. Simply connect using your VPN and manage your Windows servers with ServerControl.

Monitor your Windows services, restart hung services such as IIS. Stop, start and pause any Windows service, or change the startup options for services, just like you can in Windows Services Manager. 

No additional software is necessary on your Windows server. Connect directly with ServerControl, without the need for a Remote Desktop session.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, too old

*2022-01-23*

Apparently this app is just lingering in the App Store… it doesn’t work at all. I signed into my server using my Microsoft credentials (I should change those now…) and the app says I am not an administrator… except that I am. It’s the only account on the box and it is fully privileged. I knew it was too good to be true.

### 4/5 — Für ungeübte quasi unmöglich zum laufen zu kriegen

*2018-08-30*

Wie der Titel schon sagt sollten Amateure im Umgang mit dem Computer davon die Finger weglassen, die App an sich ist intuitiv und gut bedienbar, Windows entsprechend vorzubereiten hingegen überhaupt nicht, bis die App den PC herunter fahren kann.

Ansonsten bin ich begeistert dass es so eine App gibt!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2018-05-01*

Been using the app to control a home media center, and have really liked it. Since win10 creators edition though, it now gives me connection errors. It still connects to the computer through the account, but when requesting to restart/shutdown, generates an error. 

Would love to see an update come through for this as this app hasn’t had an update in over a year.

### 1/5 — Latest version keeps crashing

*2018-04-04*

A unique app that worked well until recently, lately it just keeps crashing when you submit a shutdown request.

### 5/5 — Better than ever

*2017-03-24*

ServerControl is quick and reliable. The new update improves on these features. Thanks again

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2017-01-23*

Macht was sie soll! Schön wäre noch eine WakeUp Funktion oder habe ich diese übersehen?

### 5/5 — Danke für das Update!

*2017-01-20*

Lange habe ich auf das Update gewartet, nun ist es endlich da. Vielen Dank!!! Gerne gebe ich 5 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Super, WoL dazu wäre prima

*2016-02-02*

Ein wirklich tolles und hilfreiches Tool! Ich nutze es gerne, gelegentlich benötige ich aber auch mal Wake on Lan, das wäre sehr hilfreich wenn dies auch noch implementiert werden würde. Vielen Dank und macht weiter so!

### 3/5 — Only for Windows server

*2015-08-22*

This product only works for Windows server and their products, not for Mac, I would give 5 stars if it works for all platforms. It is a good product though.

### 5/5 — Great to see it is updated

*2015-08-22*

Great to see it is updated, best software in its kind. Can we support Wake-On-LAN too?
