Code Sleuth’s Blog

Ever since I installed WHS on my home server then subsequently found out that the connector software doesn’t work on 64bit Vista, I was crawling the internet to find out how to get it to work. Eventually I found a site that described how to install the connector software but without the benefit of server backups (one of the main reasons I wanted a home server) so I had to settle with that.

Now it looks like the very-long-awaited Power Pack 1 (essentially a ‘feature and major bugfix expansion’ to the OS, not a service pack as it doesn’t just fix holes… some weird internal Microsoft terminology) is available for beta test.

They claim to have fixed the dreaded data corruption bug from the initial release, but are looking for beta testers to confirm their internal testing.

I’ve signed up but I don’t have long left on my trial so I’ll have to see how this will work.
