Magic Jack on WHS

You can run Magic Jack on WHS

If you are using Remote Desktop Connection on a Vista Service Pack 1 Computer edit the shortcut to add /admin to the shortcut, so it looks like this,

%systemroot%\system32\mstsc.exe /admin

 

If you are using XP or a non Vista Service Pack 1 OS edit it to look like this,

%systemroot%\system32\mstsc.exe /console

 

on the first screen that displays click on Options >>

Click on the "Local Resources" (tab)

Under the "Remote computer sound" set it to "Leave at remote computer"

Click Connect

Log onto your WHS.

Click on | Start (menu) | Control Panel | Sound and Audio Devices |

 

You should now be able to select a local audio device. Or you may need to uninstall and reinstall your audio device.

 

If this helps please mark this as the solution.

Thanks

 

Additional information if you are using a MediaSmart Server, you'll need to go to http://java.com/en/ and install the free Java update, once it is installed you can then access http://www.magicjack.com/site/magicfix.html to test your system.

This mail client is so underpowered it is unbelieveable. I'm actually considering buying a third-party e-mail client.

Installing Zune on WHS

Here is how to install Zune on Windows Home Server. I'm not sure this is a smart thing to do:

Streaming problems with Zune

Apparently I may have been having this problem.

http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/usersguide/sharing/mediasharingfaq.htm#slideshow

Why doesn't media from my network share play on my Xbox 360 console?
If you added a network share to the monitored folders list in the Zune software, the files might not play on your Xbox 360 console. This problem is most likely related to access permissions.

The Zune software uses Zune Network Sharing Service (Zune NSS) to share media. Zune NSS runs under the Network Service account rather than your user account. Therefore, the remote network share may not allow Zune NSS to access the files.

To fix this problem, modify Zune NSS to run under your user account, which will give it the same access you have to the network share.

This change is not recommended if multiple user accounts on the same computer are sharing media from the Zune software, because there is only one Zune NSS for all users on a computer.

Change Zune NSS access

1. On your computer, click Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. If you are running Windows Vista, you can see Administrative Tools in the Classic View of Control Panel.
2. Right-click Zune Network Sharing Service, then click Properties.
3. Click the Log On tab, then type your user name and password in the boxes.
4. Restart the service.
