Microsoft are advertising a webcast for Microsoft Partners called “5W/50 Series – Windows Home Server – The Next Version”. This is a free to attend webcast due to take place on Friday 5th June 2009 at 9am Pacific US time, for an hour.
Brendan Grant has just published an article on utilising single sign-on with ASP.NET on your Windows Home Server in order to use with custom web applications.
A while ago now, my friend and fellow MVP, Kevin Royalty wrote an article on how to use the Windows Software Update Services (WSUS) using your Windows Home Server. Kevin has since updated the article to include an automated way of performing maintenance. So, here it is – thanks Kevin!
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article called Backing Up a Mac with an HP MediaSmart EX485 or EX487. The article explained how to back up a Mac using Time Machine to your HP MediaSmart EX485 or EX487. This was possible due to some added software that HP included with the new MediaSmart Servers. Now for all those people who don’t yet have either the EX485 or the EX487, but still have either the EX470 or EX475, MediaSmartHome.com has a detailed article on how to do pretty much the same thing using SMB Shares.
For those of you who have the first version of the HP MediaSmart Server, either the EX470 or the EX475, you may want to update the drivers for the hardware.
Jonas Svenson has just posted over at the Windows Home Server Blog that our WHS that use homeserver.com as domain names may have issues tomorrow as their service migrates to the Azure platform. If your IP is static then you should still have Remote Access tomorrow however, if it changes, you will not be able to access your server remotely until Wednesday. Read on and follow the link to find out more.
