One of the best things about Windows Home Server is the ability to extend its "out-of-the-box" functionality by the use of add-ins, just like you can with you with your web browser. The Advanced Admin Console Add-In is a cool one for WHS Admins to have. With this, you can quickly jump to Administrative areas from within the Home Server Console including the Control Panel, Printers & Faxes, Administrative Tools, Start Menu, My Computer, My Network Places, Workgroup, and Network Connections. Additionally, this add-in lets you launch a Command Prompt, PowerShell, Task Manager, and the Registry Editor.

One of the big challenges we face all the time is how to control one of these growing networks at home. How shall I help my neighbors to actually manage their growing environment with different PCs (one per parent and one per kid and a mediacenter and, and, and)? I assume that you know that feeling.
I do not say (yet) that all the problems are solved but at least we did one significant step with a product we call Windows Home Server - a server version (as OEM version) targeted to the above described scenarios. Definitely something to look at and something that will help us in the future to help our friends and family to manage their environment in a secure, safe and easy way.

El sistema operativo servidor de Microsoft destinado a uso doméstico para hogares con múltiples PCs, está disponible a partir de hoy a un precio para una licencia OEM de 189,99 dólares.Presentado en el CES del 2000, está basado en el código de Windows Server 2003 SP2 pero sin necesidad de los conocimientos de instalación y gestión que éste necesita.El sistema se presenta como una solución para interconectar equipos y compartir archivos, producir respaldos automatizados, y acceso remoto.Los requerimientos mínimos del sistema son 512 Mbytes de RAM, 65 Gbytes de espacio en disco y 16 Mbytes de memoria de video.Para los que necesiten equipos con el sistema pre instalado, HP tiene en el Mercado el EX470 y el EX475 con 500 Gbytes y 1 Terabyte a un precio de 599 y 799 dólares respectivamente. Otras compañías como Fujitsu-Siemens, Gateway, Iomega, LaCie o Medion, han anunciado equipos con el sistema operativo servidor “hogareño” de Microsoft.Este parece ser el primer paso pa
Medion's Windows Home Server-based MD 90110 gets detailedJust as HP reportedly delayed its own Windows Home Server-based device, Medion's iteration is getting all fleshed out, so let's get right down to the dirt, shall we? Apparently, the MD 90110 will feature an AMD Sempron 64 or Intel P4 LGA 775, an AMD RS-690 / Intel 945GC chipset, be based on a MicroATX motherboard, and include 1GB of RAM, between 500GB and 2TB of RAID storage space, an eSATA port, gigabit Ethernet, and four USB 2.0 connectors. Additionally, users can look forward to 'screwless internal hard drive bays,' a recovery button, HDD status LEDs, and a variety of configurations to fit your needs (and budget). Per usual, there's no hard data available just yet in regard to pricing or release dates, but we'll keep you posted.(Via Engadget.)
Según han confirmado fuentes de Microsoft, la versión definitiva del sistema operativo de servidor dirigido a hogares y grupos de trabajo reducidos para el entorno multimedia, conocido como Windows Home Server, estará disponible antes de que termine este mes de agosto.Windows Home Server es un sistema operativo basado en Windows Server 2003, que ofrece tareas hasta ahora reservadas a los grandes servidores corporativos, como la gestión de copias de seguridad avanzadas (a nivel de restauración de ficheros o directorios), así como características para la compartición de recursos (como impresoras), gestión remota de hasta 10 máquinas Windows XP o Windows Vista (a través de una sencilla interfaz web).Hasta ahora, las últimas noticias que teníamos era que el producto había alcanzado su versión RTM (release to manufacture) hace aproximadamente un mes (el pasado 16 de julio), y una vez alcanzada esta fase, el producto se ha estado utilizando en grupos de desarrollo interno de l
If there’s one computing server product every enthusiast and home-user should be excited about, that would not be Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for Itanium-Based Systems, instead it should be Windows Home Server - codename “Q”. Last month, WHS was released to manufacturing aiming for distribution “in the next couple of months” and retail availability “this fall”. The official availability date is now most likely Monday, August 27th 2007.
On the Microsoft Support Lifecycle website, a listing for Windows Home Server states the general availability date as 8/27/2007, and mainstream support retirement date as 10/9/2012. This however does not suggest OEM products such as those from HP will ship then - still expected to come “fall” (September).
In this case, general availability most likely refers to the DVD package for system builders and other OEM channels. If you’re one of those people who want to build your own Home Se

Microsoft announced yesterday that Windows Home Server has been released to manufacturing (RTM).

El Windows Home Server tiene como objetivo convertirse en un sistema de fácil manejo para ordenadores destinados a almacenar fotos, vídeos y contenido multimedia. Según parece Microsoft partiendo de la base de Windows 2003 Server habría hecho un sistema orientado a ser tremendamente sencillo de usar para llegar a usuarios no acostumbrados a usar ordenadores, de manera que pudieran tener en sus casas un centro multimedia completo y potente pues el sistema vendría preinstalado en ordenadores de bajo coste (se especula en torno a los 500 dólares) y también lo venderían como paquete independiente.

Great news! Today the Microsoft Windows Home Server Team are broadly rolling out a new test build of Windows Home Server - a Community Technology Preview (CTP).
The Windows Home Server CTP (build 06.00.1371) provides a wide range of code fixes, user interface improvements and feature enhancements, such as:
A more complete and simplified “out of box” experience, including an easy, 7-step setup process after installation, personalized home server naming, and the ability to configure a standalone Windows Home Server from an existing home computer.
You can now set up and configure Remote Access capabilities from the Windows Home Server Console, including selection of a personalized web address from the Windows Live Custom Domains service.
You can enable or disable home network health notifications and can dictate where and when various notifications are displayed on their computers.
Users can clearly define their password settings, and designate a password hint to assist in

Back in January, Microsoft unveiled its plan for a Windows Home Server at the Consumer Electronics Show. This week, Microsoft released beta 2 of the WIndows Home Server and is opening up the beta program to allow a larger group to test out the system. Originally, Microsoft released the test versions to 1,000 Microsoft employees and partners in an effort to test it out, but to keep it a secret. I reported on the Windows Home Server back in January. HP has announced that it will be creating a Windows Home Server and is calling it MediaSmart Server. If you are interested in joining the beta test, click on the apply on Microsoft Connect. For more information, see the Windows Home Server blog. Click the link to see a video of information on the Windows Home Server.
Now that Microsoft has revealed Windows Home Server at C.E.S. 2007, more information has been made available on the web and I have an update to some of that information. First of all the release to manufacturing (RTM) date for the final version is expected on June 22, 2007. There are three primary purposes for the Windows Home Server and they are automated computer backup, access everything from anywhere, and it grows with you as it has expand capabilities by adding more hard drives.

Access anywhere seems to be a great feature where you can launch your web browser and log into your home server to access files or if your computer is on, you can remotely connect to it. Home Server owners will be able to setup a free internet address to access the servers and the address will be something like username.homeserver.com. For official information from Microsoft, click the following the Windows Home Server link. You might find it both funny and informational. To see a video ofÂ
During Bill Gates Keynote address at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, he announced that Microsoft along with key partners will be launching what is called a Windows Home Server. The Windows Home Server will be used by vendors such as HP as a basis for new hardware that consumers can purchase for their homes to connect to their Windows Vista computers. He even mentioned a connection with the Xbox 360, Windows XP, and Windows Media Center PCs.
Users will be able to access data stored on the Windows Home Server and have data from each machine that is connected to the server to be automatically backed up daily. Additionally, Bill Gates mentioned that users will be able to remotely connect to the data when they are away from home.
The goal of this new product is to serve as a hub for multimedia files in the home. These servers will come in both Windows Vista and Windows XP versions and should be available sometime this year.
