Add-In: AutoExit 2008 for Windows Home Server

October 29, 2007 — Philip Churchill

After being in beta for the last few months, today sees the launch of the final version of AutoExit 2008 for Windows Home Server.

This add-in can be used to shut down and reboot machines in your home network. Wake On Lan is also supported, enabling you to easily boot up machines remotely. These actions can be executed per machine or for all machines.

Other handy features are the ability to send messages to the different machines, configuring the timeout/message and support for opening a Remote Desktop session to the remote machines and to the server.

Statistics are kept of all actions, so that a detailed trace can be viewed on when certain actions were executed.

AutoExit for Windows Home Server is free and does not need registration.

Add-In – Windows Home Server Event Monitor

October 29, 2007 — Philip Churchill

Dave Mercer has developed a new add-in. Windows Home Server Event Monitor monitors the event logs and sends them in a single email at a fixed frequency, with the ability to send some events immediately (e.g. remote login failures).

Event_Monitor  

This is an Alpha release and Dave would love to hear your comments, suggestions and bug reports.

He also plans to add the following in later releases:

  1. WHS Health Event Monitoring (to fill the blank real estate on the right side of the console).
  2. S.M.A.R.T Monitoring of the disks.  Particularly interested in disk temperatures and predicted time to failure.
