What are the Windows Home Server and Security Essentials?

Microsoft has announced a updated beta of the Security Essentials suite, which has improved support for Windows Home Server v1 and Vail Preview. There's been some controversy on other websites about whether Windows Home Server now "supports" the antivirus program for free. Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time security for your home PC which guards against spyware, viruses and other malware. www.webroot.com/safe

Installation of Windows Security Essentials (WSE) Beta on Windows Home Server is not currently supported. Because WSE is currently in Beta it is currently in Beta. Windows Home Server team is currently working on ensuring that the integration of WSE together with Windows Home Server will meet the expectations of customers. Windows Home and Small Business Team is expected to issue the statement of support when the validation process is completed after they have a good feeling that this mix will meet the expectations of customers.

With no exception of any kind, the first reaction of people who hear that Microsoft has been involved in the development of Windows Home Server is, "Why should I care about this?" After they see it, the initial reaction is much more straightforward: "I want that."

It is time to put aside the initial doubtful reaction, and taking an in-depth glance at the photo gallery Windows Home Server has assembled that showcases the latest beta version of Windows Home Server in action. This "April 2007 Community Technical Preview (CTP)" was made available to the general public this week. The new version has lots of potential for users at home Windows people who have been sucked in digital media and are often not prepared for the possibility of losing data in a flash.

Windows Home Server

Windows Home Server is designed to provide an option for homes that have multiple computers connected to provide the ability to share files, automate backups and remote access. It is an update of Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.

The first step is to explain the features Windows Home Server isn't. It's not a general-purpose application server, but a file/web server. It doesn't require expensive equipment (an old P4 running 512MB RAM along with an Fast Ethernet card will do perfectly). It doesn't require a technical background to set it up or use it. In terms of hardware it's a device (no keyboard, monitor or mouse needed and the smaller the more compact) that is designed to connect to a home network which is always accessible for many useful tasks. Anyone who isn't technically proficient is likely to have no difficulty installing the client application and walking through the seven steps of setting up following which it will require almost no management.

What exactly does Windows Home Server do?

It is able to perform backup routines. It backups each computer in the network, and does so automatically. It utilizes a smart technology for storage that allows effective utilization of disk storage space available on servers. You can restore specific files from backups or rebuild the entire system from scratch using a blank HDD by starting off the restoration CD, and then connecting the system to the internet.

It allows the use to share folders. Shared folders provide a convenient place to store and share files, particularly disk-hogging media files that can be played back with any connected PC as well as Windows Media Connect device.

It permits the remote sharing of files as well as to home computers network through an internet browser, with rules that require secure passwords to gain access. www.webroot.com/safe

It continually checks the state of the network's health It will notify you if the system is running outdated antivirus software, or when a nightly backup fails to finish.

In later versions, Microsoft is looking at the possibility of directing Launchpad tasks to users who belong to an User Group on the Server. For instance, you could select only those who belong to the 'Remote Access Group' in order to show an access URL to the portal located on the Home Server. They're also making it to ensure that Launchpad will automatically authenticate the machine to Home Server with your username along with the password stored in the user's account, if they choose to make the choice to do so. As soon as the user logs in to the local machine, they will be registered to Home Server so that all applications that require authentication to the server run effortlessly. Another feature that's in the works is the capability to manage the alerts displayed in an icon on the tray. Users will be able to select from three options: no alerts and network alerts, or alerts for local networks and local.
