There was an issue in the SDK of a missing sample addin called ‘HostedEmail’.
Now you can find it at this location; after installing the SDK: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Server 2012
Essentials\6.2\samples\HostedEmail
See this link on how to create a Hosted Email Adapter.
You can download the new SDK here.
The Health Report add-in is designed to monitor the overall status of the server; it can create reports automatically.
A tab ‘Reports’ is added to the dashboard; where you can view the reports and create one manually.
There are different options to set the content of the report:
You can set an email-address and a schedule for the report so that administrators can monitor the actual status of the server and react fast when an error occurs.
You can download the add-in here
Now that Windows Server 2012 Essentials has been released; I’ve compiled a list of articles that are very handy to get started with it
The general availability is planned for 1 November; but technet & msdn users can already download the RTM version and if you want to have a try without having one of these accounts; go download the trial version here.
