• Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 released to manufacturing

    Posted on July 22, 2008 at 06:45 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft just released Windows Home Server Power Pack 1. It’s a substantial improvement over the original version of WHS, with:

    Fixes for the outstanding major bugs.

    Support for 64-bit versions of Windows running on your home computers;

    You can now back up Shared Folders on your server to an external hard drive;

    Significant improvements to the Remote Access feature;

    Lower power consumption.

    As I explained last month, the one feature that everybody wanted – the ability to back up your server’s backup files to an external hard drive – didn’t make it into the final product.

    Microsoft’s official description in KB 944289 says that PP1 will be pushed through automatic updates in a few weeks.

    In the interim, according to Terry Walsh on the We Got Served site, the English version is available for download now; the German, French and Spanish versions will be out early next month; and all other languages will be available by mid-August.
