1. After you have installed the magicJack software and rebooted your WHS. Establish a remote desktop connection to your WHS and open the Windows Task Manager, navigate to the Processes tab and end the MagicJack.exe process.
   
2. Click the Start button and open the Run dialog box, enter MSConfig
   
   
3. Click on the Startup tab and uncheck cdloader2.exe and then click OK
   
4. When prompted to restart choose Exit Without Restart.
   
5. Click the Start button and open My Computer and go to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data locate the mjusbsp folder.
   
   
6. Copy the mjusbsp folder to C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data
   
   
7. Return to My Computer and take note of the letter for a second drive assigned to the Magic Jack. Right-click the drive and choose Properties, the one we want to is the one with the PHONE label. For example magicJack (G:)
   
   
8. Download and the Windows Server Resource Toolkit. This will install a number of useful utilities. We are interested in two: SrvAny and its installer InstSrv are applications provided by Microsoft. SrvAny allows the magicJack software to run as a service although nobody is logged into the WHS desktop.
9. Install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Toolkit to its default installation directory.
10. Run the following command: "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\instsrv.exe" "MagicJack" "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe"
    
11. Open the Windows Registry Editor by running regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Services\MagicJack
    
12. Ensure the MagicJack key is selected in the left hand pane and right-click, choose New -> Key and name it Parameters. In the newly created Parameters section, right click and choose New -> String Value and name it Application.
    
13. Double click the newly created Application key and set the value to
    "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data\mjusbsp\magicJack.exe" /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot "G:\magicJack" where G is the second MagicJack drive letter you found earlier in Step 7, click OK and exit the Registry Editor.
    
14. All done! Reboot your WHS and wait a couple of minutes for the system to finish loading.  If all went well you should now get a dial tone.
