Product Description

If you work in an office, you probably don’t lose much sleep worrying about whether your files are safe if your PC melts down. Company IT departments handle those things for business networks. But how about all those precious photos, address lists, the family genealogy, and everything else that lives on your home network? Windows Home Server can save the day if one of your personal PCs hiccups, and Windows Home Server For Dummies serves up all the stuff you need to know to put it to work.

Forget everything you’ve heard about previous versions of Windows Server; this all–new variation has been designed for people who don’t wear white lab coats or pocket protectors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date, 17 Dec 2008
By D. Clark "DC" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Much of this text appears out of date presumably since Service Pack 1 update. Returning this to Amazon as most of the installation is intuitive with the book hindering rather than helping. Most of the work rounds are already handled by the update or add-ins.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Bought the software
After reading this book I was able to install and build a server to my purposes, rather than worry about wasting money on something I wasn't going to use.
