I ended up experimenting this Home Server, HP Data Vault X300 since I was bored yesterday. The server itself comes with Microsoft Windows Home Server genuine. It has some application called Home Server Console to install on a PC in the same network to access the server. The Home Server Console is a very limited edition, but perfect for Home, It’s about sharing and permission on a very user friendly environment.
I wanted to go a little bit further, so what I did was, I established a remote desktop connection to the server, and I ended up on the real place. I was able to install the major roles of server such as Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and File Services.
Even though this server is a Home Server, we can use this perfectly at a small-medium office. Perfect for File Sharing and Backup. No need to spend thousand’s of money buying a Xeon Server.
