Are you a visual learner? Do you prefer instructions that show you how to do something — and skip the long-winded explanations? If so, then this book is for you. Open it up and you'll find clear, full-color illustrations that introduce you to Windows Home Server, including configuring the server, working with shared folders, creating user accounts, backing up your home computers, streaming media, and accessing your home computers from remote locations. Please use links below to learn more about the book. (For some of the links you'll need a program that can open PDF files, such as Adobe Reader.)

Table of Contents
Want the big book picture? Here's the Table of Contents (1.9MB), which includes the complete contents of each chapter.
Sample Chapter
Want to see the book in action? No problem. Here's Chapter 1 (8.3MB), which gives you some background on Windows Home Server basics, runs through Windows Home Server's features and benefits, and shows you what you can do with Windows Home Server.
Sample Pages
Don't feel like downloading all 8.3MB of Chapter 1? I understand! For a sampling of the book that's easier on the bandwidth, check out this page 6 (1,000KB) and page 7 (1.25MB). To get the full benefit of the layout of these two pages, try them together (2.1MB).
