Administration from any client computer. Runs on modest hardware, although 64 bit is required. Once client computers are setup, it handles daily, weekly and monthly backups without intervention.
It also works great with Windows 7 Home Groups. I have a corporate laptop that's part of a domain. It joined the home group without issue, and is now backed up nightly. Cons: Fussy about drivers. If you are installing on legacy hardware be prepared to find Windows Server or Windows 7 qualified drivers for all your hardware. It took me a while to figure this out. Overall Review: I've had this running for a couple of months now. You need to understand that this software was intended to be headless, in other words you don't really use the local console except when you install.
Locally it's really Server under the hood. Good for stability, but don't plan on running any applications unless they are WHS extensions. It's running quite well on a single core Athlon 64, 2. The machine is a salvaged Compaq, so locating drivers wasn't easy, they seem to only post updated drivers, and only for the operating systems they supported.
Once I got everything running it's plenty fast. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. Learn More. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked. Out of Stock. Add To Wish List.

The first time you do this, you actually run the Windows Home Server dashboard. You should set up a user account that is not the same as the system administrator account, and give it a different password. This will allow you to work just with your own file shares. You can always launch Dashboard from Launchpad.
The new admin Dashboard for WHS looks much like the old one. This separation of the WHS user login, your local system login, and the WHS server admin login simplifies matters considerably. Configuring the streaming quality depends on your CPU performance. Media server and media streaming capabilities: The tricky part here is to figure out streaming quality, which depends on the performance of your CPU; unfortunately, figuring out which setting to use is difficult.
You can use your own domain name, but your choice of domain name registrars is limited. Remote access: You no longer have to use the Microsoft homeserver site, though you can use it if you like. If you have a domain of your own, you can make the WHS system part of that for remote access, but your choice of domain name providers is limited to GoDaddy.
The next thing you need to do is set up user accounts for each person on your home network. This is a pretty simple job, and it should take very little time on each system that you install the WHS connector software on. One key feature of Windows Home Server is its backup capability. You can set up backup schedules, specify which files and folders to back up, and start backups manually as needed.
