This feature is comparable in functionality to the Windows Server 2003 Administrative

03.11.2007Flaw in Windows 7 and Vista could allow remote reboot
Security experts warned Tuesday that a vulnerability in Microsoft's implementation of the SMB2 protocol can be exploited via the net to crash or
reboot Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. An exploit written in Python is already available and being tested by security experts. Initial tests by
heise security indicate the exploit enabled a remote reboot of a Vista system. However, in the test, the exploit had no apparent effect on a computer
running Windows 7. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the issue and release an official update. The only current workaround is to close the SMB ports
by un-ticking the boxes for file and printer access in the firewall settings.

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.

17.05.2008Voice Controlled Media Center From Amulet
Amulet Devices has announced a Windows Media Center remote control that has a
microphone stick at the top of it, letting you speak into the remote and issue voice commands to your television. They have a video showing how you
can name an artist and have Media Center play music by that artist, or ask your TV to change the channel or find the channel airing a specific show,
among other possible applications of the remote.
The remote has some position sensing technology built in, letting the remote
know when youve tilted it towards your mouth. This way, the remote doesnt follow commands from the TV, switching shows and music based on what comes
out of the speakers, but instead only listens when you lift it to specifically issue a command.

26.06.2008Getting to Know RDP
The Remote Desktop Protocol,
or RDP, allows you to access
machines remotely. It's a
very useful piece of
technology that has
undoubtedly saved more than a
few system admins over the
years.
RDP has
a long history of providing
better and better remote
access support. It was
introduced in 1998 for Windows
NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
(TSE) and has evolved in
almost every release of
Windows since. Beginning with
Windows 2000, almost anyone
could easily access a server
system remotely because
Terminal Services was
introduced as an optional
Windows component and could be
configured so you could use
the system either as an actual
Terminal Server or for what we
call Remote Desktop today.
Windows Server
2003 and Windows XP delivered
native Remote Desktop
functionality, allowing you to
control the system as if you
were there locally. Today, I
use Remote Desktop every day
to access my home PC and
server remotely, and to use my
Media Center Extender.
