Missing features are by design in Windows Home Server. It is suppose
to run lean, and mean and it's only purpose is to be a file media
server for the home network. It is particularly suited to streaming media.
Windows Server x comes with special capabilities...a web server for
example....and utilities to monitor, and evaluate network, and server
performance.
However, if you would like a full blown Server that is as robust, and
feature rich as any expensive Server OS software out there, and with
the added bonus of being free with as many seats as you need, then
give Linux server , any flavor, a try. A very steep learning curve
but well worth the effort.
