This book will help out the novice and the experienced. It includes some great material on how to customize your server as well how to install and configure MS SharePoint service to your server.

It covers essentially 80% of the items that are in the help file, manual or available online and really doesn't cover anything else. <br /> <br />More importantly, I'm shocked to see that there's no server support for the Zune - and this book further extends that silence. Want to integrate it with your XBOX360? This book isn't going to help you. <br /> <br />The other 20% (from the 80 I mention) covers some other functional basics, but not to the extent that I would assume would satisfy your average geek. At least not this one. <br /> <br />This book also becomes quickly dated by the fact that many add-ons have become available since it's publishing. <br /> <br />I would recommend users simply search online and view all the free information out there, especially since the Home Server has been out for more than a year now.

You may not need this if you're not a power user but if you really want to maximize your WHS, you should get this book.

The book is loaded with information but helped very little when I had problems establishing a remote desktop session. I still have not been able to access the desktop either remotely or through the network. All of the Console features work fine but I've gotten no help from the Windows Home Server Unleashed textbook in determining why I can't access the desktop.

I wish I had this book at that time. If one is using Windows Home Server this book is a must have. Rating: 5 / 5 I was involved with the beta testing of WHS. I wish I had this book at that time.
