Microsoft has made available the official app to help manage your Windows Server 2012 setup. This app runs on Windows 8 and Windows RT, and allows users to manage their Windows Server 2012 by browsing, editing, and searching files stored on the server.

“My Server for Windows 8 is an application designed to help you keep seamlessly connected to your server resources through devices running Windows 8. With My Server, you can manage users, devices, alerts, and access shared files in Windows Server 2012 Essentials. In addition, files that you have recently accessed with My Server files continue to be available to you even when offline,” the app description states.

With My Server, you can manage users, devices, and alerts, as well as share local resources to server or save server resources locally. Users can even access files that were recently opened without an Internet connection and the changes will take affect once you go back online. On top of that, you can even have playback of media files stored on the server. Hit the download link below to grab the free app.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
