Windows Home Server users are reporting Remote Access problems after updating their home computers to Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Following
the update, attempting to access those home computers via Windows Home Server’s Remote Access features brings up a dialog asking the user to add
their homeserver.com domain to the Trusted Sites list in Internet Explorer. However, after doing so, users are still not able to access those PCs.
The issue arises due to security changes in XP SP3 - namely, that the Terminal Services ActiveX control in Internet Explorer is disabled by

28.05.2008Windows Home Server Update on the way...
Windows Home Server Team: Hi all. Next week on Tuesday, Nov 27 we will release a new update for Windows Home Server software. This is a scheduled
update - part of the ongoing process of continually enhancing the customer experience with Windows Home Server. The new functionality will be
downloaded via Windows Update and made available to existing Windows Home Server customers.
Details are available
here, but the main benefit of the
update is that it will improve the remote access experience for Windows Home Server users by providing them with a trusted SSL certificate for their
home servers. That means customers will be able to access their home server from outside the home more seamlessly, without any security warnings. The
Windows Home Server team worked closely with Windows Live Domains and GoDaddy, a leading provider of Web domain addresses, to provide the certificate
for the homeserver.com web pages customers use for remote access.
In addition, this months update provides a new Delete All
button to let users delete all home computer backups that are stored on the home server, as well as a few improvements to the Shared Folders and
Server Storage components of Windows Home Server.

27.11.2007Vulnerability in the ActiveX Control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access
Microsoft is investigating active, targeted attacks leveraging a potential vulnerability in the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft
Access. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability
could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.
The ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access enables you to view an Access report snapshot without having the
standard or run-time versions of Microsoft Office Access. The vulnerability only affects the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft
Office Access 2000, Microsoft Office Access 2002, and Microsoft Office Access 2003.
The ActiveX control is shipped with all
supported versions of Microsoft Office Access except for Microsoft Office Access 2007. The ActiveX control is also shipped with the standalone
Snapshot Viewer.

04.01.2006Windows Home Server Technical Brief for Home Computer Backup and Restore
Windows® Home Server will automatically backup your home computers to the home server and allow you to easily restore the entire computer or an
individual file or folder to a previous point in time. The Windows Home Server Backup solution backs up only the data that has not already been backed
up. Even if you have several copies of the same data on different computers, the data is backed up only once on your home server and your home server
keeps track of what data was stored on each home computer on each day. This makes it efficient in the time it takes for backups to complete and the
amount of space that is used on your home server.

It is really cool and of course some people out there are interested in storing their notebooks up on WHS and they have been asking to see if this is
possible.
This is possible and you can store your files on your machine so it would be on a remote share in your house.
Something like
\whsNotebookShare and then you can open that in OneNote on all of
your computers in your house and you will have a nice little shared notebook.
As of mid-December we have been getting a few
