WHS(deleting files) question

[SAWYER]

I do not have a monitor hooked up to my WHS. I put videos in my "Shared Folders" video folder and when I am done I delete them, does this delete them and I gain the space back or does it go to a recycle bin?

Shared network files don't go into the Recycle Bin with Server 2003 (and WHS).

Volume Shadow Copies (Previous Versions) seems to be disabled on WHS. On most Server 2003 boxes, VSC would retain copies of deleted and previous versions until the space for shadow copies gets filled. I don't know if VSC can be safely enabled on WHS or not.

In headless configuration, you can still access the WHS server's desktop by using Remote Desktop from another PC on your network. Be cautious, though, since damage can be done if you don't know your way aournd Server 2003 and the WHS add-in.

You use the administrator account, not your WHS user account... The administrator password is the same as the one you use when connecting from the WHS console.

I have tried entering my password with no luck

"Which" your password? The one for your user account you probably created in WHS or the one you use when connecting a new device to the server itself? Did you use Administrator instead of your user name as well?

I used Administrator as my username and that worked, thanks

Anytime

Any plugins you would suggest?

Depends on what you want out of your server. I use a plugin that lets me see the temps and read/write speed of my drives, but that's important to me. It may not be important for you. Try the We Got Served for plugins.
