Fellow WHS MVP Nigel “Cougar” Wilks has been in touch to let us know about a new Windows Home Server add-in he has written that is out now called WHS Health.
This is what Nigel says about WHS Health:
A few weeks ago, Sam Wood highlighted a new feature that Microsoft has included in Power Pack 3 to expose the state of various components of your server.
Microsoft are using the this feature to generate the content to Windows Media Center’s new Home Server Console View, and I thought it would be useful to expose these to my iPhone so I can follow up on any messages that are generated from Alex Kuretz Remote Notification Add-In.
Several hours later and I had a pretty simple app that renders the pages well on an iPhone or iPod Touch display and lets me see the status of various components of my server. Once I was reasonably happy with the concept I passed the link to Alex and we both started bouncing ideas around and WHS Health was born. So the project grew from a couple of web pages for personal use, to a full Add-In that we are releasing to the community today. There is a similar Add-In available already, P80 that more functionality but I found it too much effort to drive on my iPhone or Touch.
You can learn more about WHS Health and download it from here.
Nice one Cougar! Keep up the good work.
