• Installation failure of OEM Windows Home Server 2011 - network continually devices do not found/installed

  Tried to install OEM Windows Home Server 2011 integrated custom server with ASUS M489GTD Pro Mobo and AMD Phenom IIx6 1055 t processor. Installation (3 attempts) would not end when network devices do not have to be found. Having read a number of user group locations and found amount of siginficant discussion on similar type problems. Searched and copied device USB and NIC brand drivers but the installation of WHS 2011 has been unsuccessful. Have since with success installed Windows 8 Preview of consumer on the server by using 'Device Manager' to find installed drivers located in appropriate files and C: / drive. Question: a plan 'best case' would try to do a new installation install WHS 2011 on my server or to an 'upgrade' type which may keep the driver folders/files? Thank you

• Windows Home Server 2011 complete system restore problem = cannot start the LAN adapter

  Home built PC

  Card mother Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H

  Network adapter Atheros AR8151 PCI-E on the map connected to the LAN Cat6

  Windows Pro 10

  Windows Home Server 2011 on LAN

  I had a hard drive failure partial who gave no symptoms or errors except a VERY slow start-up and operation.  I tried to do a restore of the entire system of my Home Server 2011 backups to see if, perhaps, just the image was corrupt.  USB was created and all drivers copied from pilots for the full system restore folder.  Has started the full restoration of the system and loaded the missing NETWORK adapter driver by using the scanner for drivers.  Driver support was successful but no lights NIC and the message "cannot find server".  NETWORK card was working fine before, even with the bad hard drive and also after the abandonment of the restoration.  Installed the new drive hard C:-System and that was the main problem, BUT..., the later to restore attempt was always the NIC starts not problem.  Tried the driver directly at Gigabyte support and drivers drivers for the full restoration of the system of records from several different backups.  No love.  Just NIC does not start after the specified load successful pilot.

  All good advice?

• Windows Home Server 2008 now believes that it's three things.

  We are a partner of Microsoft Certified skills.

  We run a Windows Home Server 2008, with each patch as possible and kept up to date on everything we can. We use it for customers to play or download demos of vidoes and product on our site of Office 365, so there is no problem of speed or size on our Office 365 SharePoint site, before the size limit on BPOS.

  The system has the excellent work for over 2 years. There are a couple of my films of the add-in so that we can maintain version control, a custom dashboard, so that we can update the user of Visual studio 2010 and perfect disk videos it allows to be 2009 a till th e14 this month.

  A lot of changes began to sturdiness almost every night until the system is almost usless today.

  1 Diskperfect sent an automatic update, which we do not have the server set for, because of the many issues in the past with windows home server.

  2. then the systetm started accepting all kinds of windows 2011 updates and automatic restarts on a database of 2003 with coverage WHS Server fancy top.

  3. the server started to accpeting all Microsoft Windows server 2003 Small Business Server updates

  in the last 10 days and with never attempt to stop the automatic updates at night, with the exception of blocking off the system. Now the system truly believes that it belongs to WHS2008, part of WHS 2011 and part windows small business server 2003.

  Support through our partner accout told us that it is impossible, got the journal reports and we can either retrieve the number SRX online and when we call we get from the SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 WHS and then told to call perfect disc three times happened in a BIG circle through my Department.

  I wonder if anyone has had this problem or knows what Department or 800 number to call to get an actual resolution to this issue.

• 2011 on hp ex495 windows home server setup

  I have a HP Ex495 running the former home server, I want to upgrade to Windows Home Server 2011.  The EX 495 has no dvd player, no port monitor and keyboard/mouse.

  I tried to install WHS 2011 by loading a disk to another computer and then transfer this player to the EX 495.  The installation is completed without error on the own dirve, but the EX 495 will not load the player created on another computer.

  There are comments on the web that the 2011 WHS can be installed by using a client, but there are no links that I can find of this process.  There are comments that show how to load WHS 2011 using a flash drive and an ini file.  But the ini file does not look to contain the answers to the many questions that arise during the installation process.

  What is the best way to install WHS 2011 on a HP EX 495?

• 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 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.

• We need a replacement for Windows Home Server that does not cost $700

  We need a replacement for windows home server that does not cost as much as a PC. 2011 is not really available and 2008 has compatibility problems, because it is based on XP and Server 2003. None of the motherboard manufactures will support XP (thanks to MS) and more recent SATA drives do not work in my motherboard more old.

• Cannot partition on Windows Home Server

  The problem:
  We are currently the main C drive partitioned 20 GB and we cannot repartition try with several different partition tools.  The error via a tool, it's "the volume you have selected cannot be extended.  Other tools to give similar messages.  The hard drive is 250 GB RAID 1 mirror.

  What we tried:

  A suggestion according to the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841650 does not include the home server edition so can't take the risk that she clearly serve States own risk.  We tried Acronis partition software, G-Parted, diskpart.exe command BACK and Macrorit http://macrorit.com/partition-magic-manager/server-diskpart-fails-to-extend-system-partition.html

  Other suspicious Info:

  1. System Properties window says that the operating system is 'Windows Home Server'.

  2 window Information System indicates that the operating system is 'Windows 2003 Small Business Server. "

  The person who owns that server call purchase Home Server edition.  Not sure if this is related or not, but it's conflicting information to find a solution.

  Bottom line, even if that server is outdated and not fully supported any longer, we hope to keep alive a little more long if possible if we simply repartition C drive and increase the free space.  Other than replacing the server suggestions are appreciated because they are not willing to spend the money to replace the entire server.

• 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.
