At the end of last year we mentioned that we would be writing a range of posts about Microsoft’s Windows Home Server and I thought that a good place to start would be recommending some books.
There are two that we suggest you start with, your experience with networks and servers will depend on which one will suit you best.
The first is “Windows Home Server User Guide”, this will allow you to setup the server and get client machines connected with shared files, printers and more. If you are new to networking and/or servers then this is the book to start with. It talks you through the basics to get you fully functioning Windows Home Server easily and relatively quick.
The second is “Windows Home Server Unleashed”, this again goes through the basics but it goes a lot further as well. If you are familiar with networking and have some server experience then we would say this is the one to go for. It takes you through doing a lot more than the first book….but then it is probably 4 times the size!
So there we go, that is the first step, get the book…oh and the software…if you don’t have the software then download a trial.
More Windows Home Server posts coming throughout 2009!!

Our fourth recommended retailer for Christmas presents is Amazon.co.uk! You name it, Amazon sell it! Amazon have a wide range of products available for very reasonable prices! Products vary from Books to DVDs to Cd’s to Games Accessories to Garden Equipment to Jewelry and much more! A great way to get your last minute presents is their voucher system where you can choose to either email, print off or have your vouchers posted to the recipient.
