I have not been able to get WHS to do a scheduled backup on my win 7 64 bit client. I assumed it was limitation of PP2 so I patiently waited for PP3 release. have now installed PP3 on WHS and uninstalled/reinstalled connector on client to ensure PP3-level connector. able to do manual backup and the PC and WHS see each other on the network, but scheduled backup don't happen. During the ...

I'm looking to use WHS to backup and protect my data, including protecting from petty burglars. I therefore want to place my server 'headless' in the loft of my house, making a wired connection between the router and WHS extremely difficult. I am not going to rebuild 2 walls, 2 floors and 2 ceilings just to hide a network cable. I'm aware that wireless connection from WHS to router is ...

I've got 3 hard drives in my WHS setup, one with the OS and two with duplication. (2 x 500GB, 1 x 2TB). How can I remove the data off my WHS so I can install Server '08 instead and migrate the data? I like WHS a lot, but between the challenges of installing the connector software on my machines, getting the .Net framework installed and updating correctly, and installing PP3, I give up. I ...

Hi, I set up a master computer with W7 Pro 64Bit and installed WHS Connector onto it. Afterwards I sysprepped it with generalize and OOBE and deployed the image using WAIK onto two other computers. All three computers have valid licenses btw. Now the problem is that if I start the connector, all computers are identified as a single device, regardless of the device name. The same issue happens ...

Hi All. I am new to WHS to be gentle :-) I have a WHS setup with 3 laptops, 2 are Vista (Business & Home editions) and a single Windows 7 Ultimate edition. My WHS is running PP3. I have no problems with the Vista laptops connecting to the WHS. The problem is with the Win7 machine. I can't get the connector to install. What i can do is RDP via MSTSC to the WHS by Name PING the server by Name ...

I'm not sure about WHS specifically, but in general, an OEM OS is tied to one device. Technically you would have to buy a new copy of WHS if you were to replace the motherboard. That being said, from what I've heard, when it comes time to replace the motherboard, Microsoft will give you a new key.

right now wv is one of only 10 states that does not allow charter schools. that is up for debate. this innovation zone may be setting whs up for becoming "independent" from the stated. interesting!

a C2D e8500 with a GF9300 mobo or one of the ION Atom based GF9400? I have a e8500 in my desktop now and was thinking of upgrading it to a q9550 and using the e8500 for a HTPC/WHS. Or just picking up an ION mobo. I do CAD/3d modeling/video encoding and think the Quad would help with that. My e8500 is OC to 4GHz. It would cost an extra 100 to get the quad and a 775 mobo for the HTPC over the...

When I copy files from one of my Windows XP systems across the network via UNC name to a WHS share, I often see file conflicts referring to 8.3 file names, and an examination of the files shows the long file names have been lost in the copy. What's the point of a backup if the file names are not retained? How do I resolve this? I saving many GB of files, so it is unreasonable to ask me to ...

I recently bought a Dell Poweredge T110 and put WHS on it, but I have to say I have been disappointed with the experience. First of all, WHS blue screened with my initial install. I found out later that I needed to change the bios setup from ACHI to ATA. There was no way to add drivers in the text only setup as I do not have a floppy drive. This was very frustrating. Upon reinstallation, ...

Will the Home version work with a WHS with multiple users with selective directory and folder accesses. Can you also use Remote desktop between computers and to the server? Thanks.

I've got a WHS which needs more diskspace. So I want to replace one of my 1TB drives. Ths drive has 10% free. I selected a disk for removal in WHS console, completed the screens (sufficient room to keep duplication) after which WHS goes to work. At the moment it has completed roughly 25% of the progress bar in ... wait for it .... 36 hours !! I've confirmed the process is not hung but it's ...

The disk that WHS is installed is a SATA 100gb disk. Can I clone that disk to a 1tb disk using Accronis clone? I have cloned other disks using Accronis and it worked perfectly even when it was the OS disk. Thanks, Marion

I am missing the default Books share from the whs console. When I log into the whs as administrator, I see that the folder is there with all of its contents. When I click on folder properties, all of the permissions seem to be correct with full permission for administrator. When I try to edit the contents of the folder I get access denied and am only able to read from it. I have tried to add the...

Greetings, This question has probably been asked before but I could immediately find an answer so I apologize for any burden I create. I'm not happy with the arbitrary 20 GB C drive allocation. I think that it is too small and would like to make it larger. as an aside, I think that the installation process ought to be modified so that a user may specify an allocation or take the ...

There seems to be a trick to get the add in Lights Out working. I recently needed to reinstall my WHS OS and installed Lights Out, looked at the instructions and it does not seem to be going to sleep. If I place the server to sleep in doing a test the clients do not seem to be able to wake it up. I get the impression that the settings for client monitoring automatically put the server to ...
