Andreas M's Windows Home Server AddIns

Looking good Andreas! I?’ve always been a fan of this add-in ond WHS v1. Can’t wait to be selected as beta tester for Vaill, when possible.

Drashna want to be beta tester too (he can’t comment on this, some wierd 503 error – so, he asked me to do it ).

I can beta test on both Vail & Aurora. My client machine is 32 bit Windows 7. I have a lot of WHS experience. No VM.

I can test on both with 32 bit and 64 bit machines ready and able!

Happily using the release version on WHS 1.0, would love to beta this on Vail.

Can test this on 64-bits WHS Vail. Was more then happy using AAC on WHS v.1 and would like to be able to test and use it.

I have used AAC since the first public release
Have been using WHS V1 since public beta & currently manage the maximum of 10 client systems.

I have been running Vail from the first preview and am now testing the refresh and would love to try out your AAC on it. I have WHS ver 1 and he enjoyed it on that.

Thank you & best regards

WHS Vail
Client OS’s Vista and Win7

I am Running Vail and WHS 1. Considering the switch to Aurora – really like the AD ability..
7 Pro and Linux on 2 machines, XP and Linux on another and looking into integrating my android phone into the mix.
I would be more than glad to assist in the testing of AAC in any way needed.

WHS yet but Vail is on the list would love to participate but I am not sure if can be ready/setup for this in time… Not a real professional..

Will IPv6 support be included in the Fritz addon. now running the 54.04.86 firmware.

Stunning stuff sofar

@Theo
I haven’t decided yet whether I will continue to work on the FRITZ!Box Anrufliste AddIn. Right now I’m fully concentrating on Advanced Admin Console.

I have Vail installed sucessfully on my test server: Dell PowerEdge 1800 , Xeon 3.0ghz, 4 gig mem, 500gig sata + 4×73 gig scsi

I’m a gearhead who’s been in Windows Admin land for about ten years.
I have recently setup my shiny new HP EX495 and after connecting the first time was VERY disappointed at the limitations of the console interface. Then I started poking around and your admin add-in for WHS v1 has gotten so many kudos around the web I thought I’d chime in.
I am passionately devoted to new technology (though my wallet would prefer otherwise!), and am very anxious to install the Vail v2 preview on this HP box (after I clone the original disc of course). I work for a ever-growing non-profit health care agency with a small group of techs.
Of the 4 or 5 that regularly do admin work in WIN2003/2008 I seem to be the only one who lives and breathes my custom MMC.

Please consider me for your beta tester program. Pretty please. With pickles.

Thanks,
Allan

Right now this is my production WHS v1 server but I swap out the HDD when I have time to play around with Vail (approx 2 hours a week). Currently connecting to the Vail server is a Samsung NB30touch Notebook running Win7 Starter.

I’ve used AAC in v1 but it was a while ago – would like to give it a go again when Vail is released.

I hope you’ll consider this adequate for testing your product.

Cheers,
Peter

I have been a system administrator and a network engineer for the last 15 years and frequently partisipate in beta software. I network a 24″ iMac using Win 7, a Win 7- i5 laptop and a vista ultimate desktop.
Thanks for all your work.

@Rich Koonz
Seems like my beta invitation to you did not make it through your email filter.

I would like to be considered for testing the beta AAC in English.

It will be installed on a custom-built server AM3 x4, 8gb ram, 8TB, running Vail.

The client(s) “real” machines will be running OSX 10.6 x1, Windows XP x2, Windows Vista x1 and Windows 7 x3 operating systems.

I have been a network & system adminisrator for years and have previously used AAC.

I hope to be able to help with the testing.

Good luck with the project!

If I’m not too late, I’d love to help!
