I was involved with the beta testing of WHS. I wish I had this book at that time. If one is using Windows Home Server this book is a must have.

This book was linked as a companion product on the Amazon website when I bought the HP Media Smart Home Server. The book is loaded with information but helped very little when I had problems establishing a remote desktop session. I still have not been able to access the desktop either remotely or through the network. All of the Console features work fine but I’ve gotten no help from the Windows Home Server Unleashed textbook in determining why I can’t access the desktop.

I bought the book before I decided to buy the Windows Home Server and it really helped me make my decision. You may not need this if you’re not a power user but if you really want to maximize your WHS, you should get this book.

I bought an HP Media Server months ago and wanted to see what all it would be capable of.
I bought this book and it’s been a disappointment. It covers essentially 80% of the items that are in the help file, manual or available online and really doesn’t cover anything else.
More importantly, I’m shocked to see that there’s no server support for the Zune – and this book further extends that silence. Want to integrate it with your XBOX360? This book isn’t going to help you.
The other 20% (from the 80 I mention) covers some other functional basics, but not to the extent that I would assume would satisfy your average geek. At least not this one.
This book also becomes quickly dated by the fact that many add-ons have become available since it’s publishing.
I would recommend users simply search online and view all the free information out there, especially since the Home Server has been out for more than a year now.

I have configured many SBS 2003 servers, and this by far is the easiest thing to set up. This book will help out the novice and the experienced. It includes some great material on how to customize your server as well how to install and configure MS SharePoint service to your server.
