Home Server - Help Build ESXi

• Windows Home Server help please with the reader.

  I have a Windows Home server in my office that has a single hard drive in it.  I continue to be told to use the repair utility when I turn on my computer.  I bought a new drive for the server.  Now that I need help, it's how to duplicate the new disc of the former, is there a way to do it, or do I have to copy all the content on another machine on the network, and then install the operating system from the beginning.  I want to avoid the loss of data.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  There are essentially two options available

  Place the new drive as the primary drive and keep the original as a secondary disk. Install WHS as a repair install and it should pick up original and index folders and re-create the tombstones for them. Then use the move to folder option in the console to make the folders shared the second partition of the disk. However, the indexing process is quite intensive and is perhaps not ideal with a line of demarcation for lack of drive.

  Alternative, remove the old drive and install the new, install WHS as a new facility that will create partitions C and D, including the new shared folders empty. Once the installation is finished, put the old one in as second drive or if this is not possible an external drive dock and then copy the contents of the old drive in the new. That would be my preferred option because it is perhaps easier and safer.

  There is no option to save and copy and settings users, even with a repair installation, you must manually recreate the users.

• Compatibility of readers for Windows Home Server 2011

  I do a home new construction of a system for Windows Home Server 2011 64-bit and I use a box of the computer with 7 bays for hard drives. I would like to use several new hard drives in raid 10, I have on hand combining with disks of the same capacity, but with different brands and different speeds: two Hitachi 2 TB 5930 TPM, a 2 TB Seagate 7200 RPM hard drive coupled with a Western Digital 2 hard drive 7200 RPM to, then two 1.5 to Hitachi 7200 RPM hard drives paired together.  These pairings using the Windows Home Server 2011 will be able to use the full capacity of all readers, that I propose to match or it will use as a record 1.5 to? In the hard drive Bay 7, that I intend to use a hard disk for the Windows Home Server 2011 operating system and I need to know if the capacity of the hard drive must be the same as the other drives to preserve the full capacity of my storage drives, or can I use a smaller disk as a 300 GB WD drive for the operating system? Is it necessary that all disks in raid 10 for having the same capacity and speed in order to maintain the total capacity of all drives? Thank you.

• Build your own Windows Home Server 2011

  Hello

  I downloaded just WHS2011 and you want to build a new machine to install it.

  I know that specs official recommended (1.4 G CPU, RAM, 64-bit...), but I'm looking for hardware clients and advice, like "how to build a quiet server"...

  In fact is there something specific for WHS or I can read Web sites that helps you build any type of server (Media Center,...)

  Can I go to TigerDirect.com and buy any case/mother/CPU board?

  Thank you
  Laurent.

  My windows Home server remote access does not recognize the domain, I've implemented into Go Daddy.

• Non-native install copy of Windows Home Server

  Hi, I was hoping that someone could erase something for me.

  I have an OEM of Windows Home Server 2011 version that I bought in England, when he arrived in the post that I realized that it is a German copy, probably why it was so cheap.

  I'm not really bothered about it, if I can just change the language during or even after the installation. My question is this a problem or problem further down the line or the whole operating system will be identical to a UK copy if I change the language and regional settings?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd rather not go back if I can't.

• Windows Home Server - Hardware requirements

  Good afternoon

  I am interested in creating a solution of Windows Home Server. I bought a Windows Home Server 2007 OEM media with the intention of creating my own solution, but never got around him a few years ago. My question for the community is the following: what are the hardware requirements for this solution?

  For me, it's a question I think I should know, but for some reason any I am at a loss! I think I need at least 2 computers. The first is the server itself, the second is a stand-alone computer that connects to the network.

  If you can give me some of the basic information I should know before diving into the Home Server I would really appreciate it. If you have all cards/articles that can help you with representation on what I need to do this would be as phenomenal.

  Thank you in advance!

  I confess that I've never used WHS and have no idea about it but. I did some research on Google and found this: http://homeservershow.com/full-tutorial-on-how-to-install-and-setup-whs-version-1.html introduction which then link a fuller version here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9659/how-to-install-and-setup-windows-home-server/

• Windows Home Server disk failure

  Excuse the language, but I'm bricks now. I have aHP Ex470 with a volume of system of 500 Gig and two 500 gig drives. I have a seemed all our data are spread over two discs, but I can't be sure. Duplication is enabled.

  He acted a bit strange in recent weeks and now, after a reboot, it just flashes red on the status indicator and it does not start. I also hear a worrying thud. I removed the two storage drives , then it starts, with some caveats of course. I could start with one of the installed disks but not the other.

  I guess one of the disks is scrap. but the data should not always be safe? When I look at inte console under shared folders, it says on most of them that they're fails. In addition, some open but others, files in the ajecent folder, does not open because the program does not recognize the file format, even if it's the appropriate icon. And what should be my next move? I got a disc of 2 gigabytes, I intend to chuck in, if I do, will the system and data be safe? I know when the disc has not shown the other day, could not open some of the files, so as you probably understand, I am really worried now...
