The new Windows Home Server Beta is available to the public for testing, and you might not have an extra machine to install it on. Here we take a look at using the free VMware Player to install it so you can test it out.

新的Windows Home Server Beta可供公眾測(cè)試，您可能沒(méi)有多余的計(jì)算機(jī)可以安裝它。 在這里，我們看一下如何使用免費(fèi)的VMware Player安裝它，以便您可以對(duì)其進(jìn)行測(cè)試。

In our final article on the series of installing WHS Vail in VMware products, today we look at installing it in the free VMware Player. So fare we have covered how to install Vail in VMware Workstation which offers a free 30 day trial, but requires a license after that. We also took a look at installing Vail on VMware Server which is completely free for personal use. Installing WHS Vail on VMware Player is pretty straight-forward, though you need to make sure to follow the correct steps and settings.

在有關(guān)在VMware產(chǎn)品中安裝WHS Vail的系列的最后一篇文章中，今天我們將介紹如何在免費(fèi)的VMware Player中安裝它。 到目前為止，我們已經(jīng)介紹了如何在VMware Workstation中安裝Vail，該軟件提供30天的免費(fèi)試用期，但此后需要許可證。 我們還看了在VMware Server上安裝Vail的過(guò)程，該版本完全免費(fèi)供個(gè)人使用。 在VMware Player上安裝WHS Vail非常簡(jiǎn)單，盡管您需要確保遵循正確的步驟和設(shè)置。

如果您轉(zhuǎn)到網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的另一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)，則將在“網(wǎng)絡(luò)”下看到WHS Vail服務(wù)器，就像它是一臺(tái)真實(shí)計(jì)算機(jī)一樣。 您將能夠?qū)DP放入其中，并使用儀表板代替從版本1開(kāi)始的控制臺(tái)。

You should be able to double click on the virtual Vail server, enter user name and password then have access to it’s shared folders from other machines.

您應(yīng)該能夠雙擊虛擬Vail服務(wù)器，輸入用戶名和密碼，然后可以從其他計(jì)算機(jī)訪問(wèn)它的共享文件夾。

Here we are using the Dashboard on a physical machine and backing it up to the virtual Vail server. You can use it just like you would use it if it were on an actual box on your network.

在這里，我們?cè)谖锢頇C(jī)上使用儀表板并將其備份到虛擬Vail服務(wù)器。 您可以像在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的實(shí)際盒子上一樣使用它。

Conclusion

結(jié)論

There is a lot to explore in the new version of Home Server and using it on a VM is a great way to test it, without having to worry about crashing an actual box. If you’re a home server enthusiast or just curious about trying it out, installing Vail as a virtual machine is a great way to do it, without the need for an extra physical machine. Also, the Vail beta and VMware Player are both free which is always cool.

在新版本的Home Server中有很多值得探索的地方，并且在VM上使用它是測(cè)試它的好方法，而不必?fù)?dān)心會(huì)導(dǎo)致實(shí)際包裝盒崩潰。 如果您是家庭服務(wù)器狂熱者或只是想嘗試一下，將Vail作為虛擬機(jī)安裝是一種很好的方法，而無(wú)需額外的物理機(jī)。 此外，Vail beta和VMware Player都是免費(fèi)的，這總是很酷的。
