Q: Can I attach a debugger to the Home Server Console application to test my application? A: Absolutely! There are two ways of doing this... locally and remotely. Locally works by installing a copy of Visual Studio (including Express) and setting it up similar to how we did with the Test Loader to launch the Home Server Console. As well as ...

A week ago I was getting this... Now when viewing a backup of my desktop I get this towards the end: Which is quickly followed by this: And these errors in the server's event log: Unexpected error 0x5aa from ReadFile on D:\folders\{00008086-058D-4C89-AB57-A7F909A47AB4}\Data.4096.0.dat: Insufficient system resources exist to ...

After owning the name domain for more than four and a half years... at last, there is now actual, useful, honest to goodness content! And no... there are no links related to the cobuyitaphobia wars (in which I was victorious). Despite the frequency of Windows Home Server related postings on this blog, it can be far too difficult to navigate ...

Q: Can I use Virtual PC to make my testing and development job easier? A: Yes you can... and if you haven't already added Virtual PC to your development process, now is the time to do so! With it, you can create a custom test environment that can be rebuilt at any time, easily restored to previous states without going through a full ...

Aside from giving me a good bit of motivation, there is another up shot it seems of having a homemade Home Server that likes to screw up on me from time to time... it helps me find errors like this one that ideally very very few people ever see: What's even more odd... is that the link takes the user here. Not really a place that is of much ...

In addition to the earlier update of Web Folders 4 WHS, Tab Reorderer has also now been updated to provide the inclusion of the actual tab icons and offers a way to to both remove given tabs from the list (adding them to the Ignored list), but also move them back to the visible list. Visible List: Ignored List: This new build includes a ...

If I were a smart man... I'd stop using my Windows Home Server. The PC I've built to act as my WHS is one monster of a frankenpc. Inside it is an old Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard that was retired from normal use a few years back after it was no longer stable enough to run certain 3d games despite a great deal of driver work. The CPU ...

For the last 2 hours my ISP has been having some wonderful DNS related problems which kept me from accessing ~95% of the Internet that I care about, a rather important thing for uploading a new build of Web Folders 4 WHS and related documentation, but now those issues are corrected it seems. Yippie!

Today I am making available the latest build of Web Folders 4 WHS (version 0.6.2) which is largely a cosmetic upgrade from the previous version (version 0.6.0) and includes some new eye candy for more easily identifying folders and whether they are web enabled or not: In addition, an updated Instructions document has been created with removal ...

In response to a recent blog comment/question on if it is possible to resize the Home Server Console... the answer is yes... but it's almost worthless. With a little bit of hackery (ie not through the normal interface) it is possible to resize the Home Server Console form to a smaller size, say 800x600, only it becomes clear that the form ...
