    I have WHS up and running, its patched and I have connected a couple of laptops to it, what next, are there any links where I can see some exciting things that I can do with this new server.  Can I use for Media streaming, can I use it as a media centre, can I use it to control home automation products.  Can I use to set up a simple calendar and contact list for out families use.  If any one knows of any links it would be appreciated.

    Well it all depends on what you want to do with it :-)

     

    Can you use it for Media Streaming - yep - just go to the WHS Console, click settings, and follow the relevant buttons.

     

    Can you you it as a media center - not in the same way as MCE at the moment.

     

    If you get the right add-ins, yes, you can control home automation products.

     

    Take a look at som of the really great websites;

     

    www.wegotserved.co.uk

     

    http://mswhs.com/

     

    They will give you some good ideas as well, along with lists of add-ins and other great info.
