I’m glad I am not the only one having this trouble. Part of my job includes monitoring and maintaining several servers which are located around the country. I have most of them using LogMeIn for access to the machines, but some locations are using Windows Home Server.

The latest service pack for Windows XP continues to cause problems for users. According to an online user forum, the latest glitch in Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) causes problems with the remote desktop access feature of Windows Home Server.

On the We Got Served U.K.-based Windows user forum, Windows XP users running Windows Home Server, Microsoft’s home storage and local networking server, report that SP3 is cutting off their access to the server from their PCs. The remote desktop access feature would ask users to add their home server’s Web site address in order to access it even after they already had, users reported.

I have been using the company laptop, which has not been updated to SP3 yet, to monitor those servers on a daily basis. Oh Microsoft, why is making a quality product (or update to a quality product) so difficult for you? Please fix it before I show up at your door with a handful of ostrich feathers, intent of tickling you until you fix it.
