Support For Windows Home Server 2011

Post by pinball2k »

I have been using Windows Home Server 2003 with Magic Jack for several years. I am now testing the new version WHS 2011. I tried to install but get a message saying OS not supported. Anybody have a workaround?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Been running MJ on the 1st version of WHS for over a year. Just upgraded last week to WHS 2011. I got MJ installed but its not working for me. If I try and dial out via my phone I can hear it dial the numbers but then just goes back to a standard phone line tone. If I try and call my number from my call phone my phone will ring but when I pick it up I cannot hear anything.

It didnt give me any errors when it installed but on the console right below the phone number it has the box that says MagicJack and below that it says 'No Audio Found'.

Still working on getting this fixed so will keep you posted as I get it figured out. In the meantime here are a couple of links to check out that may help...

Got it working now however anytime I log in using 'Remote Desktop Connection' my WHS2011 show no audio devices in the lower left corner and my MJ stops working. I have to go and log into to my WHS2011 directly for the audio device to show and MJ starts working again.

I tried using the RDC connection via the instructions on this link...

but that doesnt work. I know that was for the previous version of WHS so not sure if that may be the cause.

Logging in with Remote Desktop kills MJ

I had this problem with the original WHS. I fixed it in a nom-exotic way. I created a MJUser account on the server. I start that user and run the MJ app. I leave that user logged in. When I use RD to access the server I use the administrator log-in. I just did not want to deal with the run as a service piece.
