Windows Home Server CTP

The WHS team have just released a CTP of Windows Home Server.  This release is much more complete than the Beta 2 build.  Notably other than bug fixes it also includes:

  • The ability to reconfigure your UPNP router for remote access to your server
  • Integrated Dynamic DNS (<yourname>.livenode.com)
  • Improved first run experience
  • Ability to add and remove Add-Ins
  • The ability to turn off network health notifications on individual workstations

You can sign up for the beta on the connect site.

If you've got a great idea for an Add-in, why not go and get the SDK and start developing one?  I'm keen to see a file replication service between my PC's and the server.

To get started with Home Server Add-ins you should start here as a primer, and then read this and this.

If you develop that file replication service, let me know :-)
