Hi,
I'm trying an MBP as a home server. I posted about this here before
here. I was looking into building the machine with windows home server but decided I should give it a spin.
I'm trying understand how I would go about searching on the server from another machine. Is this possible out of the box ? Is there a remote desktop facility I could use from windows clients ? If not would VNC work, and which flavor would be best for use with a mac ?
I also noticed there are no options in the spotlight dialog to search for specific fields in files. Is it possible for example to search for a name in mail item when this appears in the from: field and not the content ?
Spotlight also appears to not index .eml files. I dumped my older outlook folders to files specifically so that their content would be indexed. Is there sth I could do ? Should I eg rename them to sth else that is more friendly to the indexing service ?
