WHS Health is a set of Web Pages formatted especially for viewing on mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, Android and Palm Pre devices. The pages read the data from the health.xml file that is generated on your Home Server beginning with Power Pack 3, renders them into an easy to read format, and provides useful details about the state of your Windows Home Server.

    We’ve had reports that it works well on Palm Pre as well. Basically we expect this to work fine on any mobile platform that has a modern browser, unfortunately Windows Mobile is not such a mobile platform. :(

    You mean not even Opera or Skyfire on Windows Mobile would work?

    I was speaking of built-in support, the native IE in Windows Mobile does not work well. Opera does indeed work fine, as should Skyfire though I’ve not tried it.

      Hi Pete, we can best help troubleshoot if you post in the mediasmartserver.net forums, a screenshot of what you are seeing could also be helpful. Most likely you are simply encountering the Certificate Warning which can be acknowledged, or you can reconfigure your remote access to attempt to re-generate the certificate.
