Most modern motherboards come with onboard sound, so you probably don’t need to buy a sound card If your motherboard doesn’t include onboard sound, you can buy a basic sound card, but if you want to listen to files stored on your Windows Home Server, why not just stream them to one of your home computers? ■Note If you decide to buy a sound card, make sure that Windows 2003–compatible drivers are available for it; otherwise, it may not work DVD Drive If you plan to install any software directly onto the Windows Home Server, then you need some sort of media drive Most modern software these days is distributed on a DVD, so avoid buying just a CD-ROM drive DVD drives are not much more expensive than CD-ROM drives, and you really don’t want to reduce the capability of your new computer before you have even finished building it Unless you plan to play Blu-ray discs on the Windows Home Server, you should buy a standard DVD drive Given the costs, I highly recommend buying a dual-layer DVD writer; they are really cheap and enable you to both read DVDs and write DVDs if necessary (always good for doing backups if needed) And a dual-layer DVD writer enables you to write up to 8.5 GB per blank DVD, which is quite a lot of data Don’t forget to buy some blank discs as well 8989appB_CMP2 10/2/07 3:04 PM Page 321 APPENDIX B ■ BUILD YOUR OWN WINDOWS HOME SERVER Case When you have all of your components gathered together, you need to put them together in a case The size and type of case you should use depends on what components you have purchased and possibly where you want to put the Windows Home Server ■Tip Some cases come with a power supply as part of the package If you are going to buy such a case, make sure that the power supply is sufficient to run all the components you intend to use This shouldn’t be an issue if you intend to use your Windows Home Server only as a Windows Home Server If the case doesn’t come with a power supply, make sure you select a power supply that will fit the case you have chosen Network Interface Card Obviously, a network interface card (NIC) is a fundamental element of any Windows Home Server Without one, you won’t be able to connect to your home network, which is the whole point of building a Windows Home Server The minimum requirement is a 100 Mbps Ethernet NIC, but if your network supports a higher speed, you should buy a compatible NIC, such as a Gigabit Ethernet card, that can provide faster access speeds and quicker transfer of your files Again, most modern motherboards have a built-in Ethernet network card, so check this before you spend money on a card you may not need And don’t forget to buy some extra Ethernet cables if you need them There is nothing worse than going to connect a piece of hardware only to find that you don’t have a spare cable or one that is long enough to reach wherever you plan to keep your Windows Home Server ■Note Windows Home Server does not support wireless, so don’t bother looking at a wireless connection Hard Drives As you have read, the components for building your own Windows Home Server largely consist of components that will “just do,” because you don’t really need to spend much money or buy the latest and greatest When it comes to hard drives, however, it’s a completely different story If you think that some of the primary functions of a Windows Home Server are to store and share your digital content, and also to back up your home computers, the more storage space you have, and the faster the hard drives are, then the better the experience is for you and your family The recommendation from Microsoft for hard drives is at least two internal hard drives, with 300 GB as the primary (system) partition Depending on the amount of digital content 321 8989appB_CMP2 322 10/2/07 3:04 PM Page 322 APPENDIX B ■ BUILD YOUR OWN WINDOWS HOME SERVER you want to store and share, this may be perfectly sufficient But hard drive prices are quite low these days, so you might want to consider putting in a couple of 500 GB hard drives, and in terms of speed and reliability, you should look at SATA II hard drives Obviously, any supported hard drive type will do, but if you are buying new drives, why not go for the latest and greatest? After all, this is why you spent as little as you could on other components And don’t forget that you can also add USB or FireWire external hard drives as well ■Note Having more than one hard drive in your Windows Home Server means that you can duplicate shared folders across the drives so that if one drive fails, you won’t lose any of your important digital data Make sure, though, that whatever hard drive types you decide on, they are supported by the motherboard It’s no good to buy SATA II hard drives only to find that your motherboard supports IDE drives only Summary This brief appendix has given you an idea of what components you need to build your own Windows Home Server It really is not as difficult as you might think However, if the thought of picking out all the components is intimidating, or you just want an easier alternative (and a warranty, not to mention having a Windows Home Server that conforms to certain requirements, such as power efficiency, noise levels, and more), then buying a ready-made Windows Home Server is probably the route for you 8989appC_CMP3 10/3/07 11:03 PM APPENDIX Page 323 C Basics of the SDK T he Windows Home Server software development kit (SDK) is used by developers and enthusiasts to create applications and add-ins for Windows Home Server This appendix takes a brief look at the SDK, including where you can obtain it and what it contains This appendix does not teach you how to program or how to develop your own applications and add-ins for Windows Home Server, but it does point you in the right direction of where to look for information ■Note As covered in Chapter 13, an add-in is something that extends the functionality and capability of your Windows Home Server The possibilities for these add-ins are endless The SDK is located in the MSDN Library at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ aa496121.aspx Figure C-1 shows the SDK for Windows Home Server welcome page, which provides a brief explanation of what the SDK includes As this page states, you can use the SDK to learn how to use the Windows Home Server application programming interface (API) to build applications and add-ins The SDK itself contains the API files for Windows Home Server: • Microsoft.HomeServer.SDK.Interop.v1.dll: Used to extend the Windows Home Server platform • HomeServerExt.dll: Used to extend the Windows Home Server Console The SDK also contains some detailed documentation on the API files and some programming examples and tutorials Specifically, the SDK contains the SDK Developer’s Guide and the Windows Home Server API Reference ■Note To understand and get the most out of the documentation and examples, you must understand programming 323 8989appC_CMP3 324 10/3/07 11:03 PM Page 324 APPENDIX C ■ BASICS OF THE SDK Figure C-1 MSDN Library for Windows Home Server SDK SDK Developer’s Guide The Developer’s Guide included in the SDK contains three very useful sections to help you start using the SDK: • Getting Started: Explains what you need to begin developing applications and add-ins for Windows Home Server • API Overview: Explains how the API for Windows Home Server works • Programming Tutorial: Provides an example that shows most of the Windows Home Server functionality You can access these sections by clicking the + sign next to Developer’s Guide in the left pane of the MSDN Library Getting Started As the “Getting Started” section explains, to use the SDK and start to develop your applications and add-ins, you need to ensure that you have the correct development software installed on your computer: 8989appC_CMP3 10/3/07 11:03 PM Page 325 APPENDIX C ■ BASICS OF THE SDK • You need to use the Visual Studio 2005 IDE (Integrated Development Environment) • You need to develop your applications and add-ins using the Visual C# 2005 programming language (You can use another programming language, such as Visual Basic NET 2005, but the examples within the SDK documentation are written specifically for Visual C# 2005.) • You need to ensure that the NET Framework 2.0 is installed, as previous versions of the NET Framework are not supported ■Note The NET Framework 2.0 is installed automatically when you install any version of Visual Studio 2005, so you don’t need to worry about installing it separately If you don’t have a copy of Visual C# 2005, you can download Visual C# 2005 Express Edition for free The link for this free download is http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/ aa700756.aspx As you can see in Figure C-2, you need to click the Download button to choose the software you want to download and use Figure C-2 The Visual C# Express download site 325 8989appC_CMP3 326 10/3/07 11:03 PM Page 326 APPENDIX C ■ BASICS OF THE SDK Once you have clicked the Download button, you are presented with a list of available tools that you can download, including Visual C# 2005 All you have to is select the language version you want to download from the relevant drop-down list and then save the file to your computer and run it Make sure you follow all the instructions to install it Make sure as well to register, because you will need a registration key; registering also enables you to get quite a lot of other free materials, such as online training, images, and more You also need to copy the two Windows Home Server API DLL files to the computer on which you just installed, or already have installed, Visual C# 2005 Those files are located on Windows Home Server in the %ProgramFiles%\Windows Home Server\ directory (where %ProgramFiles% is the system drive—for example, C:\Program Files) API Overview As the “API Overview” section explains, there are three different ways that you can extend Windows Home Server: • Extend the Windows Home Server Console • Extend the Windows Home Server platform • Extend the Windows Home Server Console and platform together You can also use the Windows Server 2003 API to add additional functionality, but that is outside the scope of this appendix Extending the Windows Home Server Console As you know by now, the Windows Home Server Console contains a series of tabs that provide different views and different functionality specific to each view You can create new tabs with new custom functionality as part of the application you want to create Extending the Windows Home Server Platform You can also extend the Windows Home Server platform itself The Windows Home Server API provides an easy route to access information on many of the Windows Home Server objects, including the following: • Client computers • Shared folders on the Windows Home Server • Application folders on the Windows Home Server • Hard disks on the Windows Home Server • Managed volumes on the Windows Home Server • Backup jobs on the Windows Home Server • Notifications on the Windows Home Server • UPnP certified routers on the Windows Home Server network 8989appC_CMP3 10/3/07 11:03 PM Page 327 APPENDIX C ■ BASICS OF THE SDK Programming Tutorial The “Programming Tutorial” section of the Developer’s Guide contains some very useful examples that demonstrate common operations of the Windows Home Server These examples are split into two sections: • Extending the Windows Home Server Console: Contains an example creating a Windows Home Server add-in and demonstrates how to write code that adds to the Windows Home Server Console a Console tab and a Settings tab You can access this section directly at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb425860.aspx • Extending the Windows Home Server: Contains several examples that demonstrate how to write code that retrieves information about some common Windows Home Server objects You can access this section directly at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ library/bb425853.aspx Take a look at both of these tutorials They are very detailed and contain simple steps that you can follow to create your own add-ins Windows Home Server API Reference The Windows Home Server API Reference contains the class library for the following namespaces: • Microsoft.HomeServer.Extensibility: Contains the interfaces used to extend the Windows Home Server Console • Microsoft.HomeServer.SDK.Interop.v1: Contains the classes and interfaces used to extend the Windows Home Server platform You can examine each of these namespaces in detail by expanding their navigation links in the left pane Code2Fame Challenge During the beta phase of Windows Home Server, Microsoft launched a competition called the Code2Fame Challenge The challenge was to develop “cool” software and hardware add-ins for Windows Home Server that would simplify the digital lifestyles of families everywhere There was over $50,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, not to mention that Microsoft would put information about the winners and their add-ins on both the Windows Home Server web site and the Windows Home Server Blog This was a really good idea to get people interested in, and developing add-ins for, Windows Home Server, especially because Microsoft was not launching any “official” add-ins for Windows Home Server in time for the official launch of the product The only real problem with the competition was that is was open only to U.S residents This was surprising for many reasons, not least of which were that different language versions of Windows Home Server would be available and that a huge pool of talented developers exists outside the United States The Code2Fame Challenge web site, shown in Figure C-3, is at http://www.microsoft.com/ windows/products/winfamily/windowshomeserver/partners/challenge.mspx 327 8989appC_CMP3 328 10/3/07 11:03 PM Page 328 APPENDIX C ■ BASICS OF THE SDK Figure C-3 Code2Fame Challenge web site Take a look at the various add-ins out there—you never know, you might just be using one developed by one of the winners Additional Resources As with any product, the longer the SDK is around, the more information and resources that will become available In addition to the MSDN Library for Windows Home Server, there is also the Windows Home Server Developer Forum, at http://forums.microsoft.com/ WindowsHomeServer/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1407&SiteID=50 This is a great place to ask questions, talk about add-ins and other development, and just generally communicate with other developers Also, keep your eyes on the Windows Home Server Blog and don’t forget that there is a wealth of useful (and sometime useless) information on the Internet Summary During this brief introduction to the Windows Home Server SDK, you learned what the SDK contains and what the requirements are for developing add-ins with the SDK, and you were given a very brief introduction to the Windows Home Server API Obviously, an entire book could be dedicated to the SDK and how to develop different applications for your Windows Home Server If you are interested in developing your own applications, take the time to work through the great examples and tutorials in the MSDN Library 8989Index_CMP2 10/4/07 12:16 PM Page 329 Index ■A access, access levels, for shared folders, 198
