  (EDIT, disregard what was written here before)

   

  The log events above indicate that the filter driver (defilter.sys) is not loaded. Can you check if defilter.sys exists under c:\windows\system32\drivers and is of version 6.0.1771.0? Also, please list the registry keys and values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DEFilter (a screenshot would do).

   

  Having the server in this state is definitely not OK -- as without the filter you won't be able to access the files on your shares.

  
  Thanks

  BulatS, thanks for quick response

   

  C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\deutil.dll

  6.0.1771.0 (whs_v1se.080604-0910), Date_Created=04-06-2008, Date_Modified 04-06-2008, 140320 bytes

   

  C:\Program Files\Windows Home Server\defilter.sys

  6.0.1771.0 (whs_v1se.080604-0910), Date_Created=07-09-2007, Date_Modified 04-06-2008, 58400 bytes

   

  C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\defilter.sys

  6.0.1771.0 (whs_v1se.080604-0910), Date_Created=07-06-2007, Date_Modified 04-06-2008, 58400 bytes

   

  Dates are dd-mm-yyyy Date_Accessed is obviously today for all three files.

   

  Only Date_Created appears funny to me. Could this possibly be related to Windows Explorer 'Date Modified'

   

  I will reboot and let you know if the errors re-appear. If not, how can I be sure these errors are not indicative for a failed install of PP1?

  I can access the share content no problem (remote and from and the desktop shortcut). Also file version appears to OK

   

  Considering the fact that I can access my shares no problem I'm more worried about the commit.dat error; does the PP1 install need to rewrite commit.dat for some reason?

   

  How do I get screenshot in my post?

  I have not yet filed the bug. Problem is I can currently only access my WHS remotely, and I did a reinstall, deleted all backups and so on before applying pp1, so I don't have the toolkit to prepare the CAB. Hopefully I will find some time tonight report the bug.

   

  The problem is persistent, I get the exact same errors on every reboot. Visible sign is application popup telling me Preserver service failed to start. Other than this one and the errors in eventlog everything appears to run fine. I have access to the shares, remote access and backup's are running (have not tried to mount them yet). I also get lots of DEUTIL logs (most empty), which tells me this one is running.

  Looks like we're both with same issue here. Other than log messages WHS seems to be running just fine. I've noticed some speed improvements which I like and will try to test server share backup over the weekend just to be on the save side.

  I've reported the bug and sent CAB to Microsoft so we'll see what they'll say.

  You can run 'sc query defilter' from the command line and if it succeeds and reports that the driver is running -- your installation should be ok. What you have seen seems to be a one-time fluke, which we need to investigate. Please file a bug through connect and make sure to give us the logs.   Thanks

  driver is running

  I get the same error except that my driver is version 6.0.1800.0
  The query fails:
  
  sc query defilter
  [SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:
  
  The specified service does not exist as an installed service

  ollic,
  
  Could you please file a bug report on Connect?
  
  If you have never done one before, could you follow the details in Ken's Post; also, if you aren't a member, you will need to join the Connect site.
