Windows Home Server v1

Download iHomeServer from our web site - www.bizmodeller.com - to the computer you normally use to manage your WHS Server.  When you are on the download site, please ensure you correctly select your Operating System from the drop down list as the installation media is different per OS.
 

Open up "Shared Folders" from the WHS tray icon.  Navigate to the Software shared folder, find the "Add-ins" sub-folder and copy the iHomeServerConsole32.msi file you downloaded in step [1] to this Add-ins folder
 

Open the WHS Dashboard and log-in


 

Once logged in, click the 'Settings' button:


 

In the Settings window, choose 'Add-ins' and select the 'Available' tab on the right hand side:


 

Select 'Install'; the add-in will automatically install.  You will then be asked to close and re-login to the Dashboard.
 

Once you log back in, select the iHomeServer add-in installed in the Windows Home Server toolbar:
 

Click on the iHomeServer tab.  iHomeServer will initially check that the installation pre-requisites have been met:


 

If the pre-requisites haven't been met, refer to this topic for further information on how to install them.  Click 'Start' to install and start the iHomeServer Windows Service.
 

You will be prompted to enter the username and password under which the iHomeServer service will be installed. This account will also be used to run iTunes so should correspond to the User Account you used when you configured iTunes:


 

Enter your username in the form [SERVERNAME]\[USERNAME] eg WHS01\Administrator, and click 'OK'
 

iTunes will now be started on your server and will continue to run when you close the Dashboard:


 

Now you are ready to add some media!
