Windows Home Server - A peek at Remote Access

  • Article

Here's what it looks like when I'm at work, accessing my home network via Windows Home Server. I've blocked out certain private data.

Clicking on any of the machines starts up a Remote Desktop connection, which can be full screen or hosted in the browser. The first time you do this, you need to allow IE to run a control that handles the Remote Desktop aspect.

In other news, I broke down last night and ordered another 512MB for the box. Under basic load, it runs well on 512MB, and without any noticeable paging. However, things like remote access and indexing have pushed my memory usage to the 700MB range occasionally.
