Add-in: Remote Notification

 remote1 150x150 Add in: Remote Notification

Remote Notification is a add-in from a developer called Alex Kuretz which performs a simple, but effective task – to forward System Health notifications from Windows Home Server directly to an email address if your choice. So, if you’re out and about and want to keep in touch with your home server’s health, this is the add-in for you.

The add-in is still in beta, and Alex is looking for feedback, bugs and comments – I’ll let him take it from here:

Remote Notification is an Add-In for the Microsoft Windows Home Server operating system. It is designed to forward the System Health Notifications from the Home Server to an email address. This can be particularly useful when configured to send to an email address that forwards an SMS (text message) to the user’s mobile phone.

Remote Notification should intercept all WHS notification events, even those issued by other 3rd party Add-ins, as long as those Add-ins use the documented WHS SDK to add notifications.

Remote Notification consists of a WHS Settings tab for configuration, a Windows Service for receiving the Notifications and sending the messages, a RemoteNotification.dat file for storing persistant data, a handful of registry entries, and this README file. Some debug information is written to the Application Event Log on the Server; you’ll need to use Remote Desktop to view these entries.
