Really appreciate the clues! The information about "unblock" was what I missed the first time around. I like that added security. Thanks!

Many thanks.
Installed smooth as...
Look forward to the next improvement which MUST be the ability to backup and restore the WHS server machine itself.

- When will Power Pack 1 be available through Windows Home Server Automatic update? I have run update now several times and no updates are available.

The current timeline for PP1 to be pushed down via AU is the 2nd Tuesday in August. If you wish to install this prior to that date, you will need to follow the instructions for a manual install.
I apologize for any confusion.

- It should be noted that if you have the HP Media Smart Server I believe HP wants to install this update via their update service. If this is true this is important because I believe there are quite a few HP Media Smart Servers out there.

I think there is some confusion in the messaging regarding the various updates.
HP's update service will not include PP1 nor have they asked us to request that Media Smart Server users wait for their service to receive it.
PP1 will come down via Automatic Updates (MS) or users can install it manually. HP has their own update which is related to PP1 and will contain the needed x64 OEM bits but as I stated, it will not include PP1.
Thank you

PP1 will come down via Automatic Updates (MS)

Many Thanks
