    I'm a newbie here, but loving discovering WHS2011! Can you explain what you mean by "Windows Home Server 2011 owners should download and install the standard Windows software via a Remote Desktop Connection". Is the Squeezebox Add-In available for WHS2011? If so where can I download it? Thanks.

    Hey Terry,

    I’ve got a Mac OS X Lion Server and I want to put Squeezebox Server on it, but I’m not exactly sure how.

    Which user it should be installed under: my Server Admin account, my personal network account, or a new local personal account on the server?

    It doesn’t seem like a a good idea to be importing files and running apps on an Admin level account – what if some .mp3 file turns out to be is a virus…

    On the other hand, the network accounts don’t support running apps (do they?)…

    And a local personal account wouldn’t be accessible from the network – only by sitting at the machine or using VNC? Seems like it would be harder getting music imported into that account.

    Really seems like SqueezeBox Server should be a Service on the Server, not an actual 

    Then do I have to keep that user logged into the server all the time for SqueezeBox to work – for that music library to appear available to my SqueezeBox device?

    Thanks…

      Hi!

      Haven’t tried Squeezebox Server on the Mac, actually, just Windows (where I do use the admin account) – that’s one to investigate…. Anyone else have any experience with it on OS X Server?
