Note to all Acer easyStore H340 WHS owners
Posted on December 5, 2009 | No Comments
Own a Acer easyStore H340 Windows Home Server? Don't be like me and spend countless hours trying to figure out why the hell the box keeps randomly shutting off. I spent the last two nights running spy sweepers and virus scans, pulling hard drives and swapping memory in search of a solution.I'm better than that.
What I should have done first is ask Google. She (that's right, I picture Google as a smart, but seductive, oracle) has all the answers as long as I know what to ask.

Help Key: Install iTunes 9 on Windows Home Server
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No Comments
It wasn't the LP albums or redesigned look that got me excited when Apple announced iTunes 9. Nope, it was the function called Home Sharing that touted the ability to share and copy media over a LAN easily. Sure, you could always drop all your music files into a centralized network share and rock out that way, but while that method works, it's not elegant or easy for others to use.
The only problem is that Windows Home Server and the current version of iTunes 9 do not get along. It takes a little hacking to get the program installed right now, but hopefully the next release will install fine. Until then though, I got iTunes 9 to install on my WHS following some of the tips mentioned in this forum thread.
Warning: You will not be able to sync your iPod or iPhone directly to your WHS if you install iTunes 9 with this method because you have to remove the services needed for device control in order for it to install. But with Home Sharing, you can easily manage the content you want on another computer anyway. It will also cause a few pop-up error messages when your WHS starts up but it's not like you restart your server everyday and, in my eyes, the benefits of Home Sharing outweighs the annoyance of the pop-ups.

How to enable Time Machine backups to a Windows Home Server
Posted on July 10, 2009 | No Comments
Well, the one big advantage HP had in the Windows Home Server game maybe about to disappear. Someone has found a relatively easy way to enable remote Time Machine backup to a WHS. It's probably only a matter of time before a rough GUI version appear followed up shortly later by a well-polished solution.
