Announcing WHS QuickBooks!
Posted by Mike in 
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to introduce you all to a new add-in I’ve written for use with the Windows Home Server. It’s called WHS QuickBooks, and just as its name suggests, it allows you to use Intuit QuickBooks from your Windows Home Server. If you are already familiar with my WHS Outlook add-in for the Windows Home Server, then you will feel right at home with WHS QuickBooks since it works in exactly the same way, only with Intuit QuickBooks instead of Microsoft Outlook.
Basically, you install a copy of Intuit QuickBooks directly onto your Windows Home Server. WHS QuickBooks will then allow you to access the installed copy of QuickBooks using a customized remote desktop connection from the desktop of any client computer that is attached to your work/home network. Or, and perhaps best of all, it will allow you to access the installed copy of QuickBooks from anywhere using just a web browser and a PC/Laptop with Internet access.
WHS QuickBooks is great for keeping track of your books while you are away from work, on a business trip, etc. You get full access to all of the features of QuickBooks, without having to install a copy of QuickBooks on every machine that you want to use it from. Your installed copy of QuickBooks (and all of its data) remains safe, and secure, at work/home on your Windows Home Server while you access it remotely from anywhere in the world!
After installing a copy of QuickBooks on your Windows Home Server, and making sure that it is set up and running properly, you then install WHS QuickBooks in your Windows Home Server Console (just as you would any other WHS add-in), enable the type of access you’d like to use (User Accounts access for local access to QuickBooks from all of the client computers across your work/home network, and/or Web Site access for web access to QuickBooks from anywhere in the world using just a web browser), and then select which users you would like to be able to use WHS QuickBooks. That’s all there is to it.

WHS Outlook v2
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to introduce you all to a new add-in I’ve written for use with the Windows Home Server. It’s called WHS Outlook, and just as its name suggests, it allows you to use Microsoft Outlook 2010, 2007, 2003, or 2002 from your Windows Home Server.
Basically, you install a copy of Microsoft Outlook directly onto your Windows Home Server. WHS Outlook will then allow you to access the installed copy of Outlook directly from the Windows Home Server Console application, using a customized remote desktop connection from the desktop of any client computer that is attached locally to your home network, or you can access the installed copy of Outlook from anywhere using just a simple web browser and a PC/Laptop with Internet access.
WHS Outlook is great for accessing your Microsoft Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendars, and tasks while you are away from home, on vacation, etc. You get full access to all of the features of Outlook, without having to install a copy of Outlook on every machine that you want to use it from. Your installed copy of Outlook (and all of its private information) remains safe, and secure, at home on your Windows Home Server while you access it remotely from anywhere in the world!
After installing a copy of Outlook on your Windows Home Server, and making sure that it is set up and running properly, you then install WHS Outlook in your Windows Home Server Console (just as you would any other WHS add-in), enable the type of access you’d like to use (User Accounts access for local access to Outlook from all of the client computers across your home network, and/or Web Site access for web access to Outlook from anywhere in the world using just a web browser), and then select which users you would like to be able to use WHS Outlook. That’s all there is to it.
