AdminiMe 2012 for Windows Home Server 1 is here!

It’s that time of year again…

After the great reactions and suggestions from the previous version; I started with this new one.
A lot of hard work is put in it, but that means a lot of great features too…

Here is a list of new features:

• Top 5 current cpu consuming processes.
• Top 5 current memory consuming processes.
• Cpu temperature monitoring. (Not all CPU’s are supported; if not then no output is shown)
• Statistics are kept on the number of shut downs, suspends, resumes, log offs.
• Server name/Server IP is listed in the email.
• Option to shut down / reboot / … when a serious error occurs.
• Execute a process when a failure or error occurs.
• Total redesign of the user interface
• Option to turn off the chart updates.
• Support lnk files / command line switches
• Export logging.
• Full support for Simplified Chinese. (Thanks to Yong Zang)

Fixes:

• The total number of days went into negative after 20+
  days running nonstop.
• GUI advancements

Now I hear you asking… what about Windows Home Server 2011???
Well, don’t worry, I am working on this one too, as I have decided to support both versions.

Regarding pricing:
– Existing users can upgrade by paying 5€. Just send along your current license file of AdminiMe 2010.

AutoExit was featured in some shows, and the same goes for AdminiMe here.
He also interviewed quite a bit of people already, from the community as from Microsoft itself.
I can say for myself that it’s one of my friday shows that I won’t miss and I have been listening since show #1. 🙂

AdminiMe 2010 Update Release-1 (build 1158)

With the release of version 1 behind us, it’s time for an update to fix those glitches that were discovered.
All in all version 1 has a very good quality and I have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback en support from you guys! Thanks, glad you like it so much!

Fixes:

• APP:CA002 Cpu Analyzer Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
  A proper message is now shown to indicate that the CPU is overloaded.
• Isn’t possible to change the network card, Apply button doesn’t enable
  The button now gets enabled and selecting a card should work.
• Documentation on using the mail functionality in the Communication dialog has been increased.
• Server: Nag screen contains control characters
  Control characters have been removed.
•  The part of the add in that shows the add in is registered says: ‘Registrd to:Name’
  Changed to: ‘Registered to: Name’
• Sent emails are german and contains formatting code \\r\\n in the text, right before the text \””In der registrierten Version …\”” ”
  Control characters have been removed.
• Server: Console crashes when invalid license file is on the server
  An extra check is done and handled.
• Server: Settings aren’t all saved
  Now when changing settings (like events,…) these are saved as well.
• Server: In some cases, selecting the networkcard wasn’t persisted
  Now when changing the networkcard in the config settings the selected card is saved.
• Server: Error when starting ‘There was a problem while checking the registration file:The device is not connected.’
  Now an extra check is done and this error should be handled.
• Server: Checking the last item in the list of Application Logs (Config tab) doesn’t submit the change, isn’t saved
  Now you can select the last item and save the change too.
• There was a problem while checking the registration file:The type initializer for ‘Microsoft.HomeServer.Controls.ShareManager’ threw an exception.
  This led to problems that mails were sent as unregistered, while the license file was present.
  Now an extra check is done and this error should be handled, in some cases it could still occur.
• Server: When a user chose to ignore messages, in the WHS Console then these messages were also reported.
  Now when you choose to ignore messages, they will not be reported anymore.
• Server: In some cases where there was high memory consumption it could be that AdminiMe reported this, while the treshold was not yet reached.
  This was not a bug but the algorithm has been changed slightly so that it is more sensitive.
• The links to the registration page/AutoExit page on the console toolbar where opened locally in the console
  Now they are opened on the client itself.
•  You can now disable the monitoring of a disk’ usage, by setting the treshold to 0.
• The disk id’s in the disk overview tab are now padded with a zero and sorted correctly
• The disk rate is now converted to the best format (Kb/s,MB/s,…)

Make sure you uninstall the previous version first!

A small update on the progress of AdminiMe

First of all, I would like to thank all people for the great feedback I’ve got.
The release itself went flawlessly and I received great feedback and comments and luckily not too many issues… 😉
There are some annoying issues in the current version, but luckily none that render your server useless!

I am working on an update release to fix those issues, improve the help,… and I hope to release it within the month.
But you know software & schedules never match… :-s So don’t take my word for it!
I am doing my best to get it pollished and get the V1 growing pains out.
But the first two weeks I was overwelmed with mails, so not too much development took place, but it’s clearing up now… 😀

For so far the update…
Enjoy AdminiMe!
