The system lacks a DVD drive, so we used a Samsung external USB optical drive to handle the installation. The hardware used for this installation is built around a Zotac mini-ITX motherboard with an Intel Core i3 530 CPU and 4GB of DDR3 RAM. This allows you to have no login on your desktop PC while maintaining secure access to the server. WHS 2011 uses an external application, the Dashboard, to separate PC logins from Windows Home Server logins. But setting up that arrangement on multiple PCs was tedious and created a security risk. You could make things easier by using the same characters for your system login and for your account login on the server, and then enabling auto-logon on your PC. You can have read access, full access, or no access.Įasier login management: Logging in to the first release of WHS was something of a chore. The only drawback is that there’s setting up shares in this way results in a little granularity. Windows 7 HomeGroups: You can add a WHS 2011 box to your HomeGroup, which makes sharing files and printers much easier. But those aren’t needed any longer (though some may have additional features beyond those in WHS 2011.) The original WHS didn’t have this capability built-in, so various media server plug-ins were among the most popular WHS plug-ins available.
