Last week Vail had its first Add-In called AWIECO WakeOnLAN released and John Zajdler and I had a chance to install and review the Add-In. After dozens of email with the developer Andreas, early morning screenshots and event logs, the Add-In is working great and version 0.1.4 is now available for release. Check out our video where John and I cover the Add-In installation and the changes required to enable WOL on your client PCs.

In the last article I built this D510 Windows Home Server. In this post John Zajdler and I will load the OS, talk about Windows Home Server v1 and give you some tips when building your own WHS.

I was told I had to change my password in Vail today. Since when does my server tell me what to do?

Dave and the guys over at the Home Server Show have just released show 96.

I did it again. I bought another Dell Outlet PC and I am going to upgrade the CPU and add on a H50 Corsair CPU cooler. This PC is for my mobile work bench, and testing equipment in the garage, so cooling is important. I had some extra space on the side of the rolling cabinet and wanted to keep the top clear for equipment and video. Wait till you see where the H50 went...

I had a plain and ugly server cabinet on Thursday. With a trip to Ikea and the Cooler Guys, I am now the owner of a sweet, well ventilated, wife-accepted server storage facility. This is not a rack or a case. If the cabinet door in your living room is propped open then this article is for you too. Read on to see what I ended up creating…

I use my test Windows Home Server to backup my relatives PCs that do not have WHS. Just before I loaded Vail onto the test server I made a copy of the backup database with the BDBB Add-In from Alex Kuretz. Now that my clear case Atom WHS is up and running I wanted to restore those backups to that WHS. We ALL use the BDBB Add-In but how many of us have actually seen or performed the restore? Check out this short video of the restore process!

Want to know what to expect when setting up your backup in the Vail beta? I set up the initial backup process on my Windows Server Vail and made a short video of the process. Check it out!
