Many of you are using the free SyncToy from Microsoft. A utility for copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories between a Windows XP or Vista machine and WHS.
Eric Maurer plans to integrate this great tool into an add-in for Windows Home Server that will:
- Open Microsoft SyncToy directly from the console
- View and Run Folder Pairs from the console
- Open Scheduled Tasks from the console
- Run and manage Scheduled Tasks from the console
Stay tuned for more information.

That is so cool. If I want to use SyncToy now with my HP ex470 how do I install the current version on the media server? Without a direct monitor output on the HP I don’t see the start menu on the ex470.

Hi Ben,
You would have to remote desktop into the server machine from your XP/Vista computer.

Hi Iars,
Yes I can’t wait till this add-in is available.

Fantastic! Now all we need is Microsoft to Fix the Data Corruption bug so we can use this add-in without the fear of destroying our data :)

MS lists SyncToy 2.0 Beta in the evil corruption list, but what about other versions – like 1.4? What version of SyncToy does this Add-In use?
I wish they would publish how to reproduce the bug so that I can test these kind of things in Virtual PC.

It is now June, 2008. Is this synchronization add-in available yet?
