Hello Every one, I"m have no IT experience. I would like to use Windows Server 2008 R as a Home Network as a plan to Store Digital Media on the Server and it can be access anywhere in the house. PC for Windows Server 2008 R that will install server 2008 is Dell XPS 410, Intell Q6600, 4GB DDR2 800MHZ, 250GB HD for OS, 5TB for Storage Space, My plan to make the server work was Windows Home Server, But I don't want to use windows Home Server, Because I know with the Windows Server 2008 it have more ability to do more thing than Home Server. I like to have all my digitial media (music, Movie, TV Show, and recording TV Show) store on server and can be access from my other PC, laptop, WD TV live Plus, Sony BDP-S570 and Sony LCD TV. I don't know if the inital installation will able to config. all those or I have to do more mannual configuration after the inintall installation process compelted. IF possibole can any one guide me. Thank you.
