Editorial Review: Product Description: “Computer data can be immeasurably valuable, yet most people leave it totally vulnerable to damage or loss. Windows Home Server is the data equivalent to a home safe. We recommend Paul McFedries’s Microsoft®Windows®Home Server Unleashed as the best first step in getting a strong hold on securing and maintaining personal data at home.” –Professor Michael L. Kleper Editor, The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing Windows Home Server is a brand new server operating system from Microsoft designed to be used in home settings. Windows Home Server is designed to reduce or eliminate the complexity of a typical network server and instead present home users with a simple, straightforward interface that focuses on four core areas: storage, sharing, backup, and remote access. Microsoft® Windows® Home Server Unleashed is the first book on the market that takes a deep look at what makes this new server operating system tick. Inside you’ll learn how the Windows Home Server storage system combines multiple hard disks (both internal and external) into a single storage space that expands and contracts automatically as you add and remove hard disks, making it easy for home users to share folders, files, and digital media of all kinds. We show you how to access your files from any PC in the network and provide secure access to the network via the Internet for your users. We also show you how to automate the backup of every computer on your network, including performing complete system image backups of each computer and restoring previous versions of individual files.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very Comprehensive Information but Doesn't Fully Apply to HP Media Smart Home ServerThis book was linked as a companion product on the Amazon website when I bought the HP Media Smart Home Server. The book is loaded with information but helped very little when I had problems establishing a remote desktop session. I still have not been able to access the desktop either remotely or through the network. All of the Console features work fine but I've gotten no help from the Windows Home Server Unleashed textbook in determining why I can't access the desktop. Rating: - Very HelpfulMuch more than just install, configure and review Help. It gets under the hood. WHS is based on Windows 2003 server. For XP users, the author adds a LOT of information on how to make thw server hum - better than many server books. The section on networking is worth the price of the book. Rating:  - Excellent book for knowledgeable "home server" readerThis book is for people who build home server from a regular pc. It assumes you have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected, and not headless (like HP MediaSmart Server). It reveals technical material in very detail. In addition, this book will teach you many ways to enhance its functionality. The author is extremely knowledgeable and a very good writer. Rating: - Easy to follow....must have for newbiesI have configured many SBS 2003 servers, and this by far is the easiest thing to set up. This book will help out the novice and the experienced. It includes some great material on how to customize your server as well how to install and configure MS SharePoint service to your server. Rating: - Pretty good book for WHSI bought the book before I decided to buy the Windows Home Server and it really helped me make my decision. You may not need this if you're not a power user but if you really want to maximize your WHS, you should get this book. Browse for similar items by category:
