WHS Health is a set of Web Pages formatted especially for viewing on mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, Android and Palm Pre devices. The pages read the data from the health.xml file that is generated on your Home Server beginning with Power Pack 3, renders them into an easy to read format, and provides useful details about the state of your Windows Home Server.

Works on Androids as well!

We’ve had reports that it works well on Palm Pre as well. Basically we expect this to work fine on any mobile platform that has a modern browser, unfortunately Windows Mobile is not such a mobile platform.

You mean not even Opera or Skyfire on Windows Mobile would work?
11. December 2009 at 8:59 pm
I was speaking of built-in support, the native IE in Windows Mobile does not work well. Opera does indeed work fine, as should Skyfire though I’ve not tried it.

Hi My iphone will not access the whs health page that is show on my WHS settings tab, seems to be a security certificate issue, any suggestions welcome

Hi Pete, we can best help troubleshoot if you post in the mediasmartserver.net forums, a screenshot of what you are seeing could also be helpful. Most likely you are simply encountering the Certificate Warning which can be acknowledged, or you can reconfigure your remote access to attempt to re-generate the certificate.

Works perfectly on my Nokia E71, using the standard S60 Web Browser. Thank you!

Poor rating, although on PP3 no health.xml file available. Also no instructions with this add in re accessing from iphone. Not worth the effort to sort all this out, just deleted it.
