As we progress towards the general availability of Windows Home Server systems and software, a plethora of authors are hard at work putting the finishing touches to books covering the new operating system.
One of the first to be released will be Paul McFedries’ Microsoft Windows Home Server Unleashed, from Sam’s Publishing, which is published late next month (September 20th).
This book will tell you what to expect from Windows Home Server, what equipment is required, and how to install and configure the system. The book will provide in-depth discussions on adding devices to the network, creating user accounts, configuring Home Server storage, sharing files and folders, connecting to computers through the network and via the Internet, sharing and streaming digital media, and using the Windows Home Server network backup capabilities. The book will also cover standard operating system topics such as security, optimization, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Windows Home Server Unleashed will also provide coverage of tools and programs that help you get beyond the basic interface and allow you to configure, customize, and tune Windows Home Server to suit your needs.
An online preview of the first chapter of the book has been made available at Safari Books Online - just follow the link and click “Start Reading Online”.
You can now pre-order the book at Amazon in the UK
