Works great
I had no problems installing or setting it up. I use it to backup all my PC's and Laptops on my network. I store all my pictures, recorded TV, movie and videos on the server. You get a web address making it easy to share with friends and family across the WEB. I made a photo album of the first 25 years of my family and setup a user so all the family members could download and have a copy within an hour. You will need to search the web for program called " find my server" to get all PCs and laptop's connected to the for backing them up, all the shares are available with a Home group setup on your network.

The best idea M$ ever came up with!
I am a longtime Windows Home Server fan. V1 was great, allowing me to manage storage and ensure all my computers were backed up. When WHS 2011 came out, I found it was an improvement on almost all fronts. Since it is built on Server 2008, it's 64 bit compatable and much faster than WHS v1. My remote desktop login is really fast, much better than the original. And to top it off, it cost half of what I paid for version 1 - at $50, it's a bargain! The user and drive management features are really well thought out. I'm looking forward to being able to backup my daughter's mac as well. I thought I would miss the drive extender from V1, but I don't. Rather than risking the loss of data if that malfunctioned, I chose instead to install a second drive and backup my critical directories using robocopy (2x/day). I also back the *really* critical files offsite using C********* (though any offsite backup service would work). While WHS takes a little bit of setting up, once you have it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. I have set up several friends and our local church with this system as well and they all love it.
