I'm assuming you're talking to me here (the lack of quoting makes it
hard to tell where in the conversation we are). If so, the answer is
yes, most definitely. End user support would of course raise the admin
overhead time and associated costs, but the server side could be rolled
out in under a day, and the server admin is fairly routine stuff. I'd
have to look into how remote wipe works and what solutions there are
for it, but unless it's a completely opaque protocol, I am going to
assume there is some way to do it. Even if it is a completely opaque
protocol, you can always set up a VM or a small machine in the corner
for single purpose things like that.
