Enable Printing To Local Computer’s Printer
By default, WHS Office 2011, WHS RemoteApp 2011, WHS Outlook 2011, WHS QuickBooks 2011, and WHS Quicken 2011 do not allow you to print to the printer that is connected to your local computer. To enable printing to the local computer’s printer:
Enable Access To Local Computer’s Drives
By default, WHS Office 2011, WHS RemoteApp 2011, WHS Outlook 2011, WHS QuickBooks 2011, and WHS Quicken 2011 allows access to the files and folders on the hard disk drives that are connected to your local computer from local (Launchpad) connections, but not from remote (Remote Web Access) connections. To enable or disable access the local computer’s drives:
Install Office/Outlook On Your Server
If your server is headless and/or doesn’t contain a CD/DVD optical drive, it can be a bit tricky to install an application like Microsoft Office/Outlook directly onto it. Here are some steps to help guide you through the process:
Windows XP Remote Web Access Connections
To successfully connect to WHS Office Web Access, WHS RemoteApp Web Access, WHS Outlook Web Access, WHS QuickBooks Web Access, and/or WHS Quicken Web Access via the server’s built-in Remote Web Access website under Windows XP:
Multiple Simultaneous Connections
The underlying Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system in Windows Home Server 2011, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials only allows two concurrent Remote Desktop Connections to the server at any one time (while in its default Remote Desktop for Administration configuration). A direct result of this is that only two of your allowed users (family members, friends, coworkers, etc.) can run WHS RemoteApp 2011, WHS Office 2011, WHS Outlook 2011, WHS QuickBooks 2011 and/or WHS Quicken 2011 at the same time.
