This article is the third of a three part series of my building and setting up a Windows Home Server for a remote location. The parents bought a vacation home and I am going to build a WHS to run and watch the house while they are not using it. The WHS will control the lights, sprinklers (ran out of time), and camera in addition to the regular duties of a Windows Home Server.
Starting today – Wednesday 26th August 2009 for TWO DAYS ONLY, if you buy either the HP MediaSmart EX485 or the EX487 directly from HP you will get an instant rebate of $150.
The SYS drive on the EX470 died on Wednesday morning after only 10 months of service. HP has sent me a replacement drive under warranty and I will be spending this Friday night replacing the drive and doing a Server Recovery.
