[Q] Can an android tablet be put onto a Windows-run environment

Hey there XDA.
i'm in the IT department for a big-time company, and we (obviously) have specific security parameters on our network.
Recently, with all of the talk about android tablets because of CES and other factors (i personally own a Viewsonic G-Tablet running VEGAn 5.1b) the team and i have come to wonder if we would be able to put an android tablet onto the domain the same way we would a regular old Windows PC/Laptop or a Blackberry phone onto the exchange server.
We use Citrix clients/servers as well as pc/laptops, and so far, as i've been scouring the market, i've been able to find a Citrix app, and a Wyse terminal app, which could be used to open VPN sessions on the server, as well as the obvious app which allows an android device to be connected completely with Microsoft Exchange Server. ( touchdown http://www.nitrodesk.com/TouchDown.aspx )
So, XDA, i figured, where else would i go but here, to the most well versed android development website on the interwebs, to ask if you guys might know of anything at all, or if something could be done.
Any ideas?

It would be awesome if someone could help me out with this.

[Q] Re-purpose old Palm Pre Plus

First, I am aware of the controversy regarding removing webOS from the Pre. I've searched for an answer to this question for weeks.
Second, I no longer use the Pre Plus as my phone, (I have upgraded to a Droid 2 Global) but hate to see perfectly good hardware go unused.
So my question is this: Since HP is discontinuing the palm line and the Palm Pre Plus on Verizon never received the updated webOS, what are my viable options for an alternative operating system?
I would love to get Android on there, but would be happy with any option that would turn this phone into more of a workable hand held. We would like to use it to stream from Pandora/Slacker, use it as an mp3 player, check weather, play simple games like Angry Birds, and Netflix would be awesome but we realize that may be a pipe dream.
Any legitimate, workable suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The underlying linux distribution is fairly robust. I run sshd and lighttpd services as well as some cron tasks and have my favorite editor installed. You can treat is just like a mini-linux server on your network if you like... It can also run X and remote X sessions...

SAbnzbd for android (not remote control of server)

Hiya folks,
I'm sorry if this is old ground, but I'm desperate to find sabnzbd on android so i can use it on my S3. I've read many posts, with confused replies regarding remote control access etc.
I was using isabnzbd on my iPad, works great and I simply want the same functionality on android, is this possible? What are the best solutions out there for downloading directly to your device?
Many thanks for clearing this up.

[Completed] Projecting a windows screen

Hi Everyone,
I'm able to stream windows phone on pc. If I tap, the actions will reflect on pc screen. But I'm also trying to do vice versa which means, clicks on screen with mouse has to reflect on mobile. Can someone help on this?

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I don't know much about WP, but it seems to me if you have access to a VNC server app you can put on your phone, you just need a VNC client on the PC. Depending on the remote control settings, you can allow the PC to make clicks on the phone. But I've only done this with Android.
Could I can the make and model of the phone you are trying to cast? Thanks.

Aha. So there is no device-related forum I can piggy-back this onto unfortunately.
I tried to find a VNC server app for WP8.1, and came up short handed due to the Windows App Store website not having a search button that doesn't search all of Microsoft.
At any rate, a post in this forum (for options) is well worth it:

Hope this helps, and good luck!

[Q] Remote control Android >from> Android - persistent permission granted

Hello all,
My parents are very old and their TV comes through an Android box. They constantly have issues and I want to be able to control their device from my home. All the screen sharing software I've seen requires a passcode to be read on the slave device and entered on the master device. This does not work for me as my parents are way too technophobic to be able to open some app and find that code... so my question is:
Is there any software you know of that will allow me to give permission to a screen sharing software ONCE so that days or months later I can still control my parent's Android device without having to find the code again?
Thanks,
Mark.
