This more than a "Power Pack" and fixes a whole host of issues including the (in)famous data corruption bug . If you have been living in a cave then you can catch up here on what the fuss is all about ? Here are the highlights of the fixes: Support for home computers that are running Windows Vista x64 editions Backup of Home Server shared folders...
MS has announced the details of what is new on WHS Power Pack 1 and it seems a collection of things which one would want to add to WHS. It is good to see the amount of testing gone into this and the fact they have upgrades coming out so soon after RTM.
Until recently I was running the RC of WHS (being part of the Beta program); but as that was expiring I coughed up for the OEM version. After installing it when I tried to configure the domain name to mychoice.homeserver.com I got an unknown error. I tried both homeserver.com and livenode.com options but neither of them worked. It seemed to get these working...
I have not been very happy with WHS lately - and the backups have been failing as you can see in the two screen shots below. Looking at the event log there have been many errors. I have not had the time to research these and see what is wrong. Here is a sampling on what is going on: Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Error Event Category: (100)...
I have been experimenting with Windows Home Server at home and running the RC1. I was low on disk space (having only one internal 80 gb HDD which was also running the OS). It started with one of the annoying Network Health alerts telling me I am low on disk space. Since there was no room in the old machine I am running this one to add another internal HDD...
Here is a flavor or some more WHS errors that I have been getting in the eventlog and not really had the time to do the research to figure out what they are. Looking at these (and there are man more), does not inspire too much confidence and I am varied to start using this in "production" mode. Hopefully they have been fixed in the RTM version...
At first I thought the Network Health notification of Windows Home Server (WHS) was pretty cool, but now after using it for about a month it actually gets very annoying. Below is a screen shot showing me some of the options. On two machines the backup was not successful and I have ignored these, but the list keeps growing. I cannot find a way (via the GUI...
Even though I have been part of the Windows Home Server (a.k.a WHM) beta for a while, those bits I was mostly running in a VM and did not get to installing it on a dedicated box until RC1 came out. It certainly is quite interesting and opens up various possibilities especially in a non-techy family. Also the fact that it is "designed" to be run...
