• I've worked with Windows servers for over 10 years now. I can definitely see a resemblance between the console here and that from SBS 2008.

• 👍

• My new favorite channel! Ive never been so excited for an unboxing

• why you put the resolution to 800×600?

• I used this back in the day, it was a real breath of fresh air compared to the actual Server OSes. The hard drive pool was a nice feature too – removed the hassle of adding additional storage – you could just add another USB drive and it added it to the pool! I tried a few other MS servers after support for this finished and ended up just using Windows 10 on an old laptop as it met all my needs.

• Microsoft should release a modern version of home server.

• 🟢

• Out of curiosity did you ever go to school for any sort of IT? I ask because as a networking student i sometimes learn new and relevant thing from watching your videos.

• 13:55 "no".

• is it oem or retail version？

• This was one of the better product implementations that Microsoft did at the time.

• neat. I have a copy of windows home server 2011 (opened) that I never got around to playing around with, I'm curious how similar it is to this version…

• I actually miss WHS …

• archive This Thing

• Is there a way to download 🪟🏡 Server ISO?

• please release the isos

• windows xista

• PARA LOS NATIVOS QUE HABLAN ESPAÑOL TRADUCIDME AL INGLES LO QUE DIGO Y PONMELO EN LAS RESPUESTAS PORQUE ESTOY CANSADO DE PELEARME CON LOS TRADUCTORES COMO GOGLE, BING, DEEPL O CHATGPT QUE NO ESTOY SEGURO DE QUE ME HA TRADUCIDO COMO QUERIA DECIR:

  Will you install Windows Home Server at a later date?

  ¿Mas adelante instalaras Windows home server 2011?

• The original WHS worked well, especially for backing up a few WinXP/7 machines and running Plex. The update (WHS 2011?) changed the disk management scheme and was not as easy to set up or install/expand storage. Troubleshooting it when something went wrong (which was rare, but not unheard of) was not fun.

• WINDOWS 9 2022(: Windows 7
  ….

• Windows server home (: 😀😀😀 uiop

• i installed the server 2003 on a vm and its actually and i think microsoft re-selled again with couple name changes

• I have great memories of Windows Home Server! Back in 2009 I built a 22 tb home server with some third party software that allowed me to rip my DVD and Bluray disks, download cover art, and use it to serve my Windows Media Center pc. I had 11 2 tb Western Digital Green Drives and one 500 gb black drive or the os. Unfortunately I lost it in a house fire in 2014. I'd probably would be still would be using it today! I loved the drive pooling feature so much, that I built a Windows 10 computer using a third party program called Drive Bender that I use as a file server and Plex.

• hi do you have any cd of software (apps) if yes then plzz do make a video

• I Installed so many Home Servers for clients. From Beta to Essentials server 2016. The client computer restore was worth it.

• based wincuck

• I used this once – at my first job at a crummy computer shop, I had to set up I think it was QuickBooks at a small business, they had a Windows Home Server, prebuilt one with no VGA input, so I attempted to set up the server app on the Windows Home Server, it didn't like me RDPing in, and it especially didn't like me trying to install something on it. I think I ended up setting up one of their office PCs as the server as they didn't want to spend extra for a proper Windows Server 2008 server or even an additional Windows 7 PC. Honestly, I can see how Windows Home Server would've been ideal for some people, but honestly – I was quite happy to go home to my Windows Server 2008 box at home, and don't think I really missed out on anything by not having WHS.

• When I get my computer I’m gonna do windows 7 ultimate and see every feature on there

• Lost me after you inserted the Disk.

• We actually had one back in the days and it would constantly break down. Backup PCs was a nightmare and you where needed to constantly reconnect a PC to the server

• On 14:44 there was a option. "Keep my password on this computer"

• I used to install Active Directory in peoples homes and replaced XP Home with a VLK copy of XP Pro so that they can join the domain. This is what I did to protest against Microsoft with what they were doing in the consumer market. Never liked Home Server because it wasn't compatible with Active Directory.
