Overview What makes Server 2012 Essentials different from Server 2011? Why should I pay $300 more for Server 2012 Essentials when WHS 2011 is $50 bucks? Big Features: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/07/17/windows-server-2012-essentials-feature-list.aspx Why it’s great for home users Why it’s great for geeks II. Let’s Dig In: TeamViewer Screen Sharing Session Microsoft brag features Data Protection, continued. Windows Server 2012 Essentials can perform complete system backups and bare-metal restores of the server itself as well as the client computers connected to the network—now with support for volumes larger than 2 terabytes. New with Windows Server 2012, the Microsoft Online Backup can be used to protect files and folders in a cloud-based storage service that is managed by Microsoft. Windows Server 2012 Essentials also centrally manages and configures the new File History feature of Windows 8 clients, helping users to recover from accidently deleted or overwritten files without requiring administrator assistance. Anywhere Access. Remote Web Access provides a stream-lined, touch-friendly browser experience for accessing applications and data from virtually anywhere they have an Internet connection using almost any device. Windows Server 2012 Essentials also provides an updated Windows Phone app and a new Metro app for Windows 8 clients, allowing users to intuitively connect to, search across, and access files and folders on the server; files are also automatically cached for offline access and synchronized when a connection to the server becomes available. Windows Server 2012 Essentials turns setting up virtual private networking (VPN) into a painless wizard-driven process of just a few clicks, and simplifies the management of VPN access for users. Client computers can leverage a VPN connection to remotely join the Essentials environment without the need to come into the office. Workload Flexibility. Windows Server 2012 Essentials has been designed to allow customers the flexibility to choose which applications and services run on-premises and which run in the cloud. In previous versions, Windows Small Business Server Standard included Exchange Server as a component product, which added expense and complexity for customers who wished to leverage cloud-based messaging and collaboration services. With Windows Server 2012 Essentials, customers can take advantage of the same integrated management experience whether they choose to run an on-premises copy of Exchange Server, subscribe to a hosted Exchange service, or subscribe to Office 365. Extensibility. Windows Server 2012 Essentials builds on the extensibility model of Windows SBS 2011 Essentials, which allows other software vendors to add capabilities and features to the core product, and adds a new set of Web Services APIs. It also maintains compatibility with the existing software development kit (SDK) and Add-Ins created for Windows SBS 2011 Essentials.

Following from a post on the Facebook group from Jim Barton, the guys talk about cloud storage, and accumulating storage across the multiple offerings.  Be sure to check out the Cloud Storage Know It Guyde for Cloud Storage options. After some Windows Phone chat, Kevin talks about his recent purchase of an ioSafe N2 NAS, which brings you technology from Synology along with ioSafe fireproof hardware.   Andrew talks about a DIY project from our friends over at ZDNet to build your own All-in-One PC, using the Intel Loop L5 Barebone System.  The guys discuss some of the merits of building your own PC, versus buying pre-built systems. To close out the show, Kevin talks about some of the deals available on Office 365, as well as the inclusions you receive in the package pricing.

Renny also talks about this 2013 goal of tidying up his Home Technology, assessing the hardware and applications he has, and performing a bit of a Spring Clean. The guys talk a about recycling options for disposing of old computer hardware, with options like Best Buy in the USA, Officeworks in Australia, local council clearances, or archiving old hardware in the home. For those of us who use multiple cloud storage providers, the guys talk about the ideal service to enable synchronization of data between providers without having to download and upload the data. For the die hard tech buff’s, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has just finished in Las Vegas – the show was comprehensively covered by Jim and Dave McCabe from the Home Server Show, and the guys talk about the highlights for them, from the various vendors who were at the show. Christian talks about the recent changes to Skype, which now allow full contact integration into Outlook – yet another step in Skype becoming the replacement for Windows Live Messenger, which is being retired by Microsoft.  Christian also discusses the current top selling laptop from Amazon – the Google Chromebook. Andrew talks about introducing a new TP-Link WR1043ND router into his home network, to enable a single wireless SSID to be accessible throughout the home, as his cable modem does not have sufficient range to be able to cover the whole house.  An affordable performance and coverage improvement. Jim and Bill talk about wireless security cameras available from vendors such as DLink, as well as talking about WiFi available from vendors such as AT&T and Comcast “in the wild”. Jim tells us about a Twitter stats site, TWTRLAND, a website into which you enter your Twitter name, and it will provide you with statistics as to how you use Twitter, including who you interact with, and things on Twitter that might interest you. To close out, Jim talks about a “crowd storage” solution, Symform, which gives you cloud storage by contributing storage to the “crowd storage” pool.

Jim and John give us a quick debrief on the Home Server Show meet-up that was held last week before the guys kick off with the show. The guys talk about the Windows 8 release, which had already arrived in Australia, and was at the time of recording a few hours away in the US.  The guys discuss their experiences to date from their testing with upgrading family members’ machines to Windows 8, as well as their expectations from Windows RT on the Surface devices. If you purchase Windows 8 Pro, you can upgrade until January 31st 2012 at no extra charge by receiving a key to the feature pack from Microsoft.  Regular pricing for the Pro Pack upgrade feature after January 31st 2012 will default to $10. The guys talk a bit about some of the Windows 8 applications that are starting to appear in the Microsoft Store, including the new version of Skype, Evernote, One Note MX, and various other applications.

Jim and Andrew are joined this week by Renny Phipps for Show 90 of The Home Tech Podcast. Renny talks about installing Windows Server Update Services on Windows Home Server 2011, using a guide put together by our friends over at WeGotServed.  For those of you with multiple PC’s in the home or office, this allows you do download system updates once from Microsoft Update, and also to control how and when updates are deployed to your PCs. The guys talk about some of the recent changes to Window 8, as well as some of the new hardware like The Ultimate Ultrabook™ coming to the market from companies like Vizio. Renny tells us about re-purposing an old modem router into a wireless access point to extend his home wireless network to an area with poor coverage from the rest of his network. Andrew talks about his new phone, another Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy SIII, and the differences between the Samsung and his old HTC Desire, and the features that are an improvement, plus the ones that may or not be useful.  Andrew and Jim talk about the Samsung advertisement for the Galaxy SIII. The guys talk about Microsoft Office 2013 being released to manufacturing.  If you have a TechNet or MSDN account, and like testing out new software, check it out. Andrew introduces us to the Accurate Outlook Duplicates Remover, which is a free utility that identifies and deletes duplicate emails in a PST file. Jim talks about the Tonido Plug, which is a low powered, Linux based personal cloud device, that holds a 2.5 inch hard disk, and plugs into a power point and network connection.  For those who the Tonido Plug is not available, the software is available for download from Tonido, and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, and has mobile clients for all of the popular devices.
