The AutoExit network management Add-in for Windows Home Server is one of the most popular pieces of Home Server software on the net. This power management app allows you to shut down and reboot client machines within the home network, all from a single console accessing the server.

Today the software's developer, Nick Asseloos, has released the AutoExit 2009 RC1 version which include:

- Multilingual UI (supports German, French, Japanese).
- Setup has been made smaller and packaged as a zip file instead of 1 installer.
- Wake On Lan all clients.
- Send a message to all connected clients.
- Warn users when the server is going down.
- Support for Windows 7.
- Possibility to the Wake On Lan port to send to.
- Possibility to enable easy logging on the client side.
- Mac-address of the server is retrieved when opening the diagnostic dialog and the Mac field being empty.
- When downloading an update, it is automatically saved to the ‘Server\Software’ or ‘Server\Logiciel’ folder, if none of these exist the browse directory dialog is shown.
- Fixed bug where on some machines the actions did not work and an error 998 was displayed, this has been fixed.
- Fixed issue that settings in Vista/Windows 7 weren’t read correctly and made the AutoWOL Server function not work.
- Fixed bug when a client comes out of sleep, a WOL packet is sent to the server if enabled.
- Small improvement to the update dialog to show the product name.
- When using hibernate/sleep, the machine sometimes couldn’t be enabled again.
- Detects if Remote Desktop is enabled on a Home Edition.
- As well as other minor adjustments and improvements.
