Chapter 15. Sharing Data Between Computers

Perhaps you run a home-based business with deadlines and meetings with clients and suppliers. Maybe you just need to coordinate your busy schedules with your spouse and the kids. Maybe you even homeschool your children, and need a way to share lesson schedules and plans with them.

Households today are very diverse in the way they function, but they do have one thing in common — the need to share information with one another quickly, painlessly, and automatically.

While collaboration software is common in the workplace, it tends to rely on expensive infrastructure software such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes. These solutions work great, but they are impractical for the home due to their cost and the server resources that they require. There are, however, alternatives that are more viable for the home user that you can implement right on Windows Home Server.

In this chapter, we'll show you how to configure Windows Home Server's Web server to allow it to share calendar information and to act as a host for Microsoft SharePoint services. We'll also show you how to take advantage of your server's shared folders to share information in Microsoft OneNote, new in Office 2007.
