Add-In: Media Center Health Monitor for Windows Home Server (Beta)

Windows Home Server and Windows Media Center continue to grow friendlier by the day thanks to Ian Dixon’s new add-in, Media Center Health Monitor.

The add-in monitors the health of all of your Media Center systems in the home – even if they are not connected to the home server as clients.

Should there be any issues with a Media Center machine, it will be reported in Windows Home Server’s health status. You can also view the event logs of each Media Center client.

    I don’t have a media centre, but if I had one, I’d use the add-in right away. What I especially like, is the recording of events, even is the media centre is not connected. That is what you really want with a central device like the WHS. Well done !!

    Sorry for the off-topic frustration following now, but there are some commercial add-ins/programs that could really learn from this (Avast for example :-)

    I’d love to test out this add-in, but I’m not going to register at a site just to get a beta version.

    Make it available at WGS or on a site that doesn’t require registration and you’ll get many more users.

    Am I right that this doesn’t work with MCE 2005?

    That may make me sound like a dinosaur, but my core stuff around here isn’t Vista based. (MCE2005 streaming to MCExtender running on original xboxes – not 360′s)

    Doesn’t work on my Vista Ultimate NL, I already contacted the addin author with the shown errormessages but didn’t get any reaction yet.
