manwh0r3 posted:Seems to be available here, https://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsHomeServer Looks like that page just got updated, the Vail blurb wasn't there before. EDIT: There's a video here that I don't recall seeing before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmnFoI8iqC8 It's worth noting that the beta will wipe whatever you install it on.

It certainly is convenient to be able to recover disks without any other specialized software, but seems like a bit of an over reaction right now to say thing like "no one is going to want this". If all we're talking about is a driver, I don't see why Microsoft couldn't make that available for recovery purposes. EDIT: I would've liked to see some more additional new features, maybe they'll do more "power pack" type stuff down the road. Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Apr 27, 2010 |

kri kri posted:They really dropped the ball I think regarding MCE support. The improvements to the disk extender look good, it isn't really a big deal about recovering as I am sure Microsoft or some developer will come out with a recovery tool. I'd really love to see more "cloud" integration native, with better online backup, maybe some live mesh integration, etc. but we'll see what happens there.

modeski posted:Does anyone know if it would be feasible to install an email server on top of WHS? I'm thinking that since my WHS will be on 24/7 then I may as well use it as an email server as well, since I rather like the idea of not giving my data to third parties. I have to admit zero clue about running a mail server, but I'm game. Yes it's certainly possible, although it opens up a whole new can of worms in terms of successfully running an email server on what I'm assuming is a residential ISP (although you can certainly setup smart hosts to relay through your ISP, etc) Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Jun 8, 2010 |

jeeves posted:If someone buys a WHS server without a video card, what exactly do you do if you need to reinstall. Nothing? Or can WHS be installed over a RDP? HP has restore discs that you fire up in a different PC and then hit a reset button on the home server to wipe it back to factory, not sure exactly what it does.

DarkStryke posted:A post on another forum got me thinking. Are VM's able to be run on top of WHS2011, or did they gut that functionality out of the Server 2008R2 underpinnings? It can't run the hyper-v role as far as I know, you'd have to use something else.

Tivac posted:My ex485's OS install crapped out and I got a cheap copy of 2011, so I'm installing that now. Are Drive Bender/DrivePool/MonStor worthwhile replacements for DE yet? Did you install 2011 on your EX485? If so, how's that working?

One Arm Manny posted:Is anyone doing any offsite backups using Crashplan or a similar service? What are you using, and what do you think of it? Is there one that integrates well with WHS? Cloudberry has an add-in for WHS v1 & 2011 that will dump your crap out to S3. http://cloudberrylab.com/default.aspx?page=backup-whs

Has anyone upgraded their HP EX485/EX487 to WHS 2011? Just curious to get people's impression of how everything works...

Nebulis01 posted:HP seems to have moved out of the home server market and switched to letting their proliant micro server series support WHS. So you'd be forced to buy a server, a copy of WHS2011, a drive and then do the install yourself. This is good hardware though. Newegg has run bundles on this + WHS 2011 in the past, but WHS 2011 is pretty cheap on OEM form.

Well, looks like 2011 is the end of the line for WHS: http://www.wegotserved.com/2012/07/05/microsoft-draws-windows-home-server-era-close/ quote:Q: Will there be a next version of Windows Home Server? Too bad Essentials costs 10 times more.
