There seems to be a fair amount of interest in this OS due to it being recently revealed to the public. I was kind of disappointed that the page had not had more in depth information as now is when a lot a people are apt to go looking for basic info. My technical knowledge is rather limited, especially in regards to server software, so I don't feel confident adding much to the page, but I wanted to encourage others. I've noticed a fair about of apparent misconceptions in the product and a muddy understanding of what it can and cannot do. In particular in regards to whether it can be used by systmes other than Windows, like OSX or Linux. I saw one comment that suggest this will be possible. Also, I saw a video on MSDN's Channel 9 that was very informative that someone updating the page might want to check out. There was one part, if I understood it correctly, that said if someone knew what they were doing (ie. not a novice) they could use remote desktop to access much richer functionality than the basic control panel interface provides. It seems like much (if not most) of Windows Server 2003 can be accessed. Someone who knows this OS might be able to talk about what this could mean as far as an enthusiast using Windows Home Server as opposed to the novice user. I hope someone can use this information to flesh out the article. -- 72.24.86.95 09:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm the GM for Windows Home Server and will try to update this article when I can. I already fixed a few inaccuracies as well as replaced the bogus/FAKE screenshot tha was original there with a real one. ckindel 23:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I think their should be a section mentioning open source alternatives to WHS. WHS looks good, but people need to be informed that their are FOSS alternatives. FreeNAS and Openfiler in particular spring to mind. Personally I like FreeNAS because it has upnp support which allows you to stream media to an xbox360 without relying on Windows Home Connect.
-- Jmantra 13:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
While WHS isn't really a NAS server and those distros aren't really in direct competition with WHS, they both serve similar functionalities to WHS, so i think they are worth a mention.
Obsession with the number 10 it involves everything
Is it true that it can be connected from both the web browser and its own console program (Windows Home Console)?? Please clarify this -- Jutiphan 23:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes.
The Windows Home Server Console is a rich Win32 application that *executes* on the server. The UI is remoted to the client via the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). A small app running on a client PC provides a local window frame for this app making it appear that the app is running on the client (when it is really running on the server).
In the Remote Access scenario, the home administrator can access the Windows Home Server Console via a web browser over the Internet because the Remote Access webapp uses the Terminal Services/RDP ActiveX Control to enable access.
ckindel 01:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Is it going to be possible to install your own software (e.g. webservices) on this server, or will it be locked down like the 360? The 360 security rocks. It's the ONLY console that's never been hacked, and EVERYONE has tried. I might sleep better knowing it has hardware security like the 360. ...But I'll probably complain if they lock it. ....Then again, I think I'll complain either way. Yeah, I'm an impossible customer. So what's the verdict? Brien86 07:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes. cek 17:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, can I add that to the article? Brien86 07:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Sure. I am a definitive source ;-). cek 22:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Cool, so it can run, for instance, SQL server? PonThePony 10:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
no worries, I've hacked many 360's and I've hacked the beta version of WHS. security sucks
So can newsreaders and P2P be run on it, which would make sense on an "always on" machine? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.37.205.21 ( talk) 12:34, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
Windows Server 2003 R2 is a release of Windows Server 2003 SP1 that includes a second CD containing new, optionally installed technologies (see Windows Server 2003 for a full list).
Windows Home Server uses none of these optional technologies.
Windows Home Server is based on the Windows Server 2003 *SP2* codebase.

I think that it would be good to have a comparison between the standard Windows Server (2003 or "Longhorn") and Windows Home Server so we know what Windows Home Server can and can't do. 220.237.189.10 02:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I have a bunch of screenshots on my blog, which if anyone things will be useful I can upload here (if someone will guide me through how to do it and mark them as GPLed) -- Blowdart 07:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[1] is now live.
I'd update the page myself, but the NPV rules prevent me from making such a change myself. cek 02:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
While i'm at it, why is the new External Link to the "Windows Home Server Forums" the first external link? That link is to an UNOFFICIAL forum (the official Microsoft forums are at http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsHomeServer
Another piece of feedback, in case anyone wants do do some editing:
Under "Picing and Availability" it reads 'In a Channel 9 video interview, Windows Home Server General Manager Charlie Kindel said that early Home Servers will cost about the same as a low-end PC, or around $500.'
The Channel 9 link goes to the wikipedia page on Channel 9. That's cool. But shouldn't there also be a link to the video of me too, say like this:
In a Channel 9 video interview, Windows Home Server General Manager Charlie Kindel said that early Home Servers will cost about the same as a low-end PC, or around $500. cek 02:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
It looks like Windows Home Server also has a own graphical user interface in addition to the one that can be accessed on a web browser, just like Windows Server 2003 has. Images of this can be found on Paul Thurrott's WinSuperSite. Off! 16:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Someone noted they cant find a citation for the 10 PC limit. I did a Google and Live search and, yep, sure enough, we have never said publically anywhere that there's a 10 PC limit. cek 03:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Does WHS set up it's own domain? Is it compatable with existing domains? 203.33.3.12 01:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
It is possibale to setup home server rtm as a domain controlor all u have to do is remote desktop to the server goto system32 then type dcpromo then goto the dcpromo.exe to start the domain controllor setup 58.174.66.52 ( talk) 08:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I just reverted a change that claimed that WHS could be a DC and could join a domain. Both of these claims are contradicted in the article under Compatability, and the claims didn't cite a source, and the contradict the sources we know about.— JBazuzi ( talk • contribs) 00:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
The section is full of OR. How is this anymore like Server 2003 web edition without looking like the rest of Server 2003 family? And because both are family members of the server 2003 family, how can we say that home server is built off the web edition codebase (as the secn seems to imply) and not off the codebase of which both web edn and whs are built? Its not verifiable, I'm removing it. -- soum talk 19:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
"Issues" is an over-used and increasingly abused word. I recommend changing "issues" to "problems". Unfree ( talk) 06:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Under Known Issues -- No native backup, someone introduced a bullet that says that WHS is vulnerable to Fire, Theft, etc. Aren't all things vulnerable to this? And what does this have to do with Native Backup? Edward ( talk) 05:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
That was me. I'll explain what I meant, and maybe a more skilled Wikipedia editor can figure out a way to make the page make sense. If you could automatically do a backup of all your WHS content to a web-based backup service, or to a friend's WHS in another part of the world, or to an external USB drive that you stored in a safety deposit box, you would be protected from fire & theft.

Blowdart - please leave my edit alone.
This article "Data files that contain NTFS alternate data streams can be corrupted on a Windows Home Server-based computer" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943393 relates directly to the file corruption issues. Would you **please** read the article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943393 "Data files that contain NTFS alternate data streams can be corrupted on a Windows Home Server-based computer" This in turn leads to the download about signing streams. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941914/ "An update for Windows Home Server lets you obtain a trusted certificate for your Windows Home Server computer during remote access configuration of your personalized domain"
I've got home server. This worked. Do you? Even if you follow the cited link for the issue eariler on in the article (ref 17), a sentence before the anti-ms vibe "even though" ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/943393/en-us) it actually takes you to 941914, the one you keep reverting!
ED: Okay, I'm sorry, looking up I see you have home server. Am I really wrong then? Is my home server just fluking *not* corrupting stuff right now?
Paulecoyote ( talk)
I'm sorry, I was looking at 943393 which does have a fix, not 946676 which *doesn't* have a fix and is quoted in the article and mentioned before 943393.
Perhaps that paragraph ought to be reworked if they are two seperate but similar issues. I was certainly confused and am a little embaressed about how confused I actually was / am.
Paulecoyote ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 09:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
In the "Native Backup" section, Contributions/81.23.56.25 added this text:
Update -as of 22/05/08 Microsoft has informed beta testers that this feature will not be present, and may not be released with the Power Pack 1 RTM.
I reverted this edit because it's an uncited claim. I haven't seen any suggestions, even in blogs, that the Server Backup feature won't be in Power Pack 1. My revert was reverted, without explinatation; I have reverted that revert.
Also, Wikipedia is not a news site; using "Update" style writing is not encyclopedic. Instead of adding a sentence that contradicts the previous one, better to modify the existing text to be correct.
Additionally, I don't think the date format and use of "RTM" match WP:MOS, but I'm no expert there.
Furthermore, I believe that all Power Pack 1 Beta testers are bound by an NDA. If Microsoft *has* told beta testers something interesting about PP1, and that beta teter shares that information publically, that may be a violation of the NDA.
Finally, 81.23.56.25 also reverted a good edit that fixed a typo ("add address"); I have reverted that bad revert, as well.
I will not engage in a revert war on this topic. I will not revert again. I hope that another wikipedian will help resolve the situation. — JBazuzi ( talk • contribs) 15:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad that WHS isn't the only option for a home server, but is the WHS page really the right place to describe them? I mean, they don't exist solely to be alteratives to WHS, right?
What I've often seen here on wikipedia is that various alternative to something are all in the same category. I find that very helpful when I'm looking for alternatives to a given product. — JBazuzi ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to start updating sections of this article which have been address by PP1-RC1. ( Symo85 ( talk) 04:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC))
Has anyone else seen this weird marketing thing at http://www.stayathomeserver.com/ [2]? I tried looking up info about it on Wikipedia, but nothing will show up. I want to write something about it in Wikipedia, how would this be correctly done? Forgive me for formating errors, I am new at this. -- James73686 ( talk) 05:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
"The system also acts as an RDP gateway, allowing remote control over the internet of supported internal machines on the home network." The explanation on how this should work is missing?

I came to know about WHS through an unwanted icon in my network places folder and systray that said find Upnp devices. and it placed an unknown named location on the same folder. which disappeared after a while as i was searching for the clue. any idea? 119.73.112.6 ( talk) 10:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I've been using a Acer Aspire WHS box as a development tool for a lot of my work with .NET programming and I thought that it might be helpful to share a few specific hacks somewhere in this article or perhaps in a separate leaf article. Here are some of the ones I wanted to share as references for folks interested in the extensibility and capabilities of Windows Home Server:
What do you think? Does this belong on this article (maybe in a new extensibility section?) In it's own article? Not at all?
-- Omgcapitalism ( talk) 05:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
The article correctly notes that the new version is out this month. The rest of the article describes WHS V1. The article should probably be updated to include both or rename this one and a new article for the latest version. Mikebar ( talk) 18:28, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
I propose that the Windows Home Server 2011 article get merged into this Windows Home Server article, since they describe the same product, and there are so few new additions in the 2011 version, so why have two articles for the same thing? 164.4.17.33 ( talk) 14:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Additionally, I don't think the date format and use of "RTM" match WP:MOS, but I'm no expert there.
Furthermore, I believe that all Power Pack 1 Beta testers are bound by an NDA. If Microsoft *has* told beta testers something interesting about PP1, and that beta teter shares that information publically, that may be a violation of the NDA.
Finally, 81.23.56.25 also reverted a good edit that fixed a typo ("add address"); I have reverted that bad revert, as well.
I will not engage in a revert war on this topic. I will not revert again. I hope that another wikipedian will help resolve the situation. — JBazuzi ( talk • contribs) 15:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm glad that WHS isn't the only option for a home server, but is the WHS page really the right place to describe them? I mean, they don't exist solely to be alteratives to WHS, right?
What I've often seen here on wikipedia is that various alternative to something are all in the same category. I find that very helpful when I'm looking for alternatives to a given product. — JBazuzi ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to start updating sections of this article which have been address by PP1-RC1. ( Symo85 ( talk) 04:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC))
Has anyone else seen this weird marketing thing at http://www.stayathomeserver.com/ [2]? I tried looking up info about it on Wikipedia, but nothing will show up. I want to write something about it in Wikipedia, how would this be correctly done? Forgive me for formating errors, I am new at this. -- James73686 ( talk) 05:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
"The system also acts as an RDP gateway, allowing remote control over the internet of supported internal machines on the home network." The explanation on how this should work is missing?

I came to know about WHS through an unwanted icon in my network places folder and systray that said find Upnp devices. and it placed an unknown named location on the same folder. which disappeared after a while as i was searching for the clue. any idea? 119.73.112.6 ( talk) 10:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Because I can't edit this article myself (NPV) here are some suggestions for flushing this article out further:

With the number of in-line citations above 30 from a diverse list of publications, can the message box at the top be removed at this time? Mikebar ( talk) 13:48, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please replace the lame screenshot of the administrators desktop with something better? Like a shot of the home server console?

Looking for a listing of all HP printers that have the x64-bit using windows server 2008, reason is that we have about 25 printers and we are trying to find out which ones have this availabity, thank you Brenda Lyles with Spartanburg Forest Products, Greer, SC 29651 blyles@gsponline.net
I've been using a Acer Aspire WHS box as a development tool for a lot of my work with .NET programming and I thought that it might be helpful to share a few specific hacks somewhere in this article or perhaps in a separate leaf article. Here are some of the ones I wanted to share as references for folks interested in the extensibility and capabilities of Windows Home Server:
What do you think? Does this belong on this article (maybe in a new extensibility section?) In it's own article? Not at all?

The article correctly notes that the new version is out this month. The rest of the article describes WHS V1. The article should probably be updated to include both or rename this one and a new article for the latest version. Mikebar ( talk) 18:28, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
I propose that the Windows Home Server 2011 article get merged into this Windows Home Server article, since they describe the same product, and there are so few new additions in the 2011 version, so why have two articles for the same thing? 164.4.17.33 ( talk) 14:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
