• Big Windows Home Server patch coming

    Posted on November 20, 2007 at 10:56 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Philip Churchill on his Windows Home Server blog reports that a major update to Windows Home Server is imminent.

    The security certificate error in a web browser has finally gone. Data files which contain alternate data streams (ADS) which can potentially become corrupted when copied to shared folders on WHS has also been resolved and Microsoft Money backup files can now be stored on Home Server without an issue… We expect this to be available as an automatic download for Windows Home Server from the Windows Update site within the next 24 hours.

    UPDATE: The Knowledge Base article, 941914, is up. Expect the update to hit your Windows Home Server early next week. I, personally, turn off automatic updates on Windows Home Server (see the book), but at this point Microsoft doesn’t have much of a track record with automatically applied updates to WHS.

    In a, uh, related vein, Terry Walsh on his We Got Served blog announced that Windows Home Server For Dummies has hit the stands. I got my copies about a week ago. I like it – but then again, you expected me to say that, didn’t you?

    UPDATE: Microsoft has just released a white paper entitled, “Windows Home Server Technical Brief for Home Computer Backup and Restore.” If you’re interested in learning about the inner workings of WHS’s amazing backup and restore capabilities, it’s well worth a gander.
