One of the best things about Windows Home Server is the ability to extend its "out-of-the-box" functionality by the use of add-ins, just like you can with you with your web browser.

The Advanced Admin Console Add-In is a cool one for WHS Admins to have. With this, you can quickly jump to Administrative areas from within the Home Server Console including the Control Panel, Printers & Faxes, Administrative Tools, Start Menu, My Computer, My Network Places, Workgroup, and Network Connections.

Additionally, this add-in lets you launch a Command Prompt, PowerShell, Task Manager, and the Registry Editor.

This is great add-in for IT Professionals who are already familiar with running Windows Server 2003, as it gives you access to more advanced functions. Because the extra functionality provides was not something intended, there are a few little oddities you should be aware of if you try to use this add-in, but they aren't anything an IT guy or gal like you can't handle. Just read up on them first.

When you're ready to kick it into high gear, download the Advanced Admin Console from here.
