Client Console and Restore CD

The Client Console is the heart of administration for Windows Home Server.

The main screen has a number of large buttons across the top: Computers & Backup, User Accounts, Shared Folders, and Server Storage. Each one has a different information panel below.

The Computers & Backup panel shows the list of computers that are registered and whether the backup is current. User Accounts shows the users registered with the server, and whether or not they have remote access capabilities. Shared Folders shows a list of shares and how much space they are using, if they're being backed up through duplication, and whether that duplication is working properly and the data is protected.


Server Storage shows the individual hard drives and whether or not there are any problems, along with a pie chart on the right side that graphically shows how much disk space is being used with each purpose (shared folders, backup, duplication, etc).


Beyond the four main pages, there is a settings window with a plethora of options to mess around with: General Settings like date, time, and region; Backup scheduling; Password strength requirements; Media sharing; Remote Access configuration & router configuration; Add-ins; and General System Information.
