Well obviously they're going to advertise WSSE it as part of the Storage Server product family. My point is that WSSE is just not another edition of WSS; in fact it's another edition of WHS targeted at businesses with more users and domain join functionality. If you've ever set up WSS 2008 R2 you'd know it's completely different than WSSE/WHS. WSS itself is really just a collection of updates you have to install on top of an already running W2k8 R2 installation. WSSE/WHS on the other hand is a new release based on the SP1 release of W2k8 R2 and has features like client backup and recovery, the dashboard and remote web access, but without features like iSCSI target, SIS or RODC. WSSE and WHS is pretty much the same, really (which is why the binary difference between the ISOs is just 140 MB); just don't think of it as another WSS edition, because they're not really comparable.
I've been looking around trying to find the default location of the images that are used for the remote access page to try and customise it beyond the couple of items the remaote access settings allow but I am not having much luck. Has anyone found where they are located and how to change them?
The remote web access files are in %programfiles%\windows server\bin somewhere, I don't remember the exact path though.
I would have to agree that I love my WSSE setup. I haven't found an add-in yet for it and also I like knowing how and where to make mods manually. There are alot of things you can tweak in the custom.xml and custom.css files. I have been playing with the text size, alignment, weight and also images used, it has been real fun. Edit: by the way are you using trilogy on your WSSE?
So now its just a matter of waiting for someone to buy it and scrape the OEM key for us...but who's going to convince their boss this is a needed addition to their infrastructure at work. And also has access to pull the OEM key and cert. Should we start a fund to pay for it?
