Accounts may not match
If family members want to access information on your home network from an Internet
café, coffee shop, or other location outside of your home, they need individual user
accounts with strong passwords.
When you create user accounts on the server, use logon names and passwords that match
the logon names and passwords of existing user accounts on your home computers.
Creating matching user accounts enables family members to automatically log on to the
server when they log on to their home computer.
If the user accounts and passwords do not match, you will be prompted to type a user
name and password when you open the server’s
shared folders .
Create a User account that matches your computer's account.
1. At the computer, double-click the Windows Home Server icon in the system
tray.
2. Log on to the Windows Home Server Console.
3. Click the User Accounts tab.
If you have already dismissed the Windows Home Server user help dialog, then
skip to step 6.

strength for all user accounts and click OK . (optional)
User accounts that are enabled for remote access in the

Wizard in step 6 below, require a strong password regardless of what is selected
on the Set Policy page.
5. Click OK on the User Accounts Setup dialog to begin creating user accounts.
6. Click Add , and then complete the Add User Account Wizard.

Guest account disabled
If you want everyone to use the same logon account to access the HP MediaSmart Server,
enable the guest account. If the guest account is enabled with no password, family
members are not required to logon when they use home computers. Additionally, all
family members can have Full access to all shared folders through the guest account.
Note
If you enable the guest account, everyone that connects to your home network has
the same privileges. That may mean that they all have full access to shared folders
