To get all the latest updates and PowerPack, you might need to run update more than once. You can update Windows Home Server with the latest security patches, compatibility updates and PowerPack by selecting Update Now on the General tab under Settings in the WHS console.
With the release of WHS PowerPack 3 in November 2009, support for Windows 7 was added, including related features such as Libraries. Windows Home Server Updates and Client Operating System Support One nice aspect of WHS is that most of the features of Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition are also available if required and can be installed through the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet. Once the server boots to the desktop, a series of mandatory patches are installed before launching the WHS console, through which all basic administrative tasks are performed. Getting Started with Windows Home Serverīased on Windows Server 2003, Windows Home Server - perhaps better thought of as a workgroup server for the purposes of this article - is set up in much the same way as the standard server product using a simplified wizard. Windows Home Server version 2 (codename Vail and based on Windows Server 2008 R2) is due to be released in the first half of 2011. If you have more than 10 computers or are likely to grow beyond that point in the near future, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition supports up to 75 users, is based on Windows Server 2008 R2 and includes Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 and SharePoint Foundation Services 2010. WHS is considerably cheaper to buy and run than SBS, but you should remember that while the lack of Exchange in WHS is the biggest difference between the two products, you will also miss out on some of the manageability features that SBS has to offer via Active Directory. It also is a good fit for those that already have Small Business Server but need a reliable backup solution. WHS makes sense for small offices or home businesses that require backup and have simple remote-access requirements but are happy to run Exchange in the cloud. If your company operates with 10 computers or fewer and has no server (or uses a desktop to store important files and share printers), then Windows Home Server is a great option for your organization.
