    Has anyone installed the Mesh client on their WHS (PP1 RC)? Any issues with the remote desktop client or the Management Console?

    The Live Mesh client is not currently compatible with Windows Home Server.

    Just out of curiosity, what benefits would you gain by installing Mesh on the server itself, instead of accessing it through your workstations?

    From what I've seen of Mesh, it uses port 80 for remote desktop (rather than RDP ports), which means you have more chance of getting through a corporate or other firewall. Mind you, I could be wrong. Also allows folder synching to/from the Home Server from outside your network.

    Checkout the tutorial on the liveside pages,

    Seems to work for them.
