MS Windows Home Server

The Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 Beta forum has opened within the Windows Home Server Forums for those of you who will need help preparing your WHS for Power Pack 1 (PP1). Details on how to use this forum are also there.

After my post yesterday Public Beta PP1 – Microsoft Needs You!, Microsoft have started to send out the emails requesting users to sign up to the Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 public beta.

As well as including the fix for the data corruption bug, PP1 will also include a host of other bug fixes and new capabilities.

The public beta will start in early June and the email states that in order to deliver a fix of the highest quality a sufficient time for feedback is required. The timeline for a final release will depend on this feedback and testing.

The email also explains how to prepare for the public beta and guidelines on how to prepare a home server for testing are also available from Microsoft’s connect site.
