WHS and Failing Disks

Customer calls complaining about a clicking noise on his HP Data Vault X510 WHS server. I'm guessing it's either a bad disk or the fan. I bring the server back to the shop ... and sure enough, it's one of the disks that's making the noise. But, how do I determine which disk??? A quick...

WHS Console won't run

I was working on a custom built Windows Home Server (not an HP or Acer) from a customer site that was not letting me log in or access it remotely. Once I got it set up on my workbench, I powered it up and logged in. When I went to start up the WHS console, the console displayed for the briefest of moments...

Sonos S5 Music Players, Connected, Converged, Fantastic

I’m not easily impressed, but my jaw is hanging open today after installing two Sonos S5 Music Players to cover my home with end to end music. I’ve used computers, Media Center Extenders and all kinds of hardware and software in the past to move music around my home, but I always had to cobble together...

Windows Home Server (V2) VAIL

I have been a huge fan of Windows Home Server (WHS) ever since it was announced back in January 2007. This past April (2010) Microsoft released a public beta version of the next version of the Windows Home Server product, code name VAIL. The big change (behind the scenes) is that VAIL operates in a 64...

WHS - Now ready for Business PrimeTime?

One of the knocks on Windows Home Server (WHS) is that it contains the word 'Home' in its name. If that issue has kept you from selling or installing WHS in businesses, then check out the news from HP -- they have released WHS with a new name: HP StorageWorks X500 Data Vault ! The equipment is...

WHS & SBS: Approved for Backups

For more than a year I have been promoting the use of Windows Home Server as a local backup solution in a Small Business Server (SBS2003/SBS2008) environment (per these two blogs: blog1 , blog2 ). I already have WHS installed at most of my SBS customer sites. It now seems as if Microsoft is now willing...

WHS and the Acer Aspire easyStore H340

Talk about a deal too good to refuse! Acer recently came out with their WHS server, that competes straight up with the HP MediaSmart Server. For the rest of this post, I will refer to it as the 'easyStore'. A week ago I stumbled on a deal through NCIX (USA) that was offering the easyStore for...

One of my mottos has always been: "You cannot have enough backup!". So, I am always investigating and testing backup software. When Microsoft first releasd Windows Home Server (WHS), I knew that this was a product I would be testing. Well, tonight, it saved my bacon! My own SBS 2003 server...

Windows Home Server Saves Another User

As I was rebuilding my main workstation again (life running pre-beta OS's is always fun), I was very much appreciating the simplicity of Windows Home Server. I have my main workstation set up as an 80 GB OS drive (C:) and data drives of D: and E:. Whenever I install a new build on the computer, I...
