    I've checked on my Windows Update - PP3 does not show up even though I read it was to have been released 11/24.

    Where can I get a copy of the .ISO file so I can burn an install DVD?

    Can you check and see what version of Windows Home Server you currently have installed? Version numbers are in the console, settings tab, resources view.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    How do I make sure that the pp3 installed correctly. When looking at the system control panel, it says thet I only have service pack 2 installed, but looking at the version numbers view it says power pack 3 is installed. I was thinking it was not installed until I looked at this post. So if it is installed, this is what might be causing some confusion on if pp3 is installed or not. I dont know if it can be stickied so people can tell that is installed or not. Here is my version info, this system is a new install with all updates applied.

    Windows Home Server Console: 6.0.2423.0
    Windows Home Server Backup & Restore: 6.0.2423.0
    Windows Home Server Drive Extender: 6.0.2423.0
    Windows Home Server Remote Access: 6.0.2423.0
    Windows Home Server Storage Manager: 6.0.2423.0

    Dan, those are the correct version numbers. The Service Pack is also correct; it's for the base operating system (Windows Server 2003).

    I am also not seeing PP3 show up on the Windows Update site. I have Power Pack 2 installed right now and never got around to testing the prerelease PP3. My version info is:

    Windows Home Server Console: 6.0.2361.0
    Windows Home Server Backup & Restore: 6.0.2361.0
    Windows Home Server Drive Extender: 6.0.2030.0
    Windows Home Server Remote Access: 6.0.2361.0
    Windows Home Server Storage Manager: 6.0.2361.0

    I have automatic updates turned on, but even when I click Update Now, it just tells me no updates are available.

    Any ideas why I wouldn't be seeing it yet?

    that is what I was thinking, but it did not click when looking at the system control panel. I didnt think that the service pack was being downloaded. This might be confusing some people as to if it is installed or not. Just my opinion. :)

    This version is not one of the normal builds, it looks for me as if you installed the Beta of Power Pack 3 a while ago.
    To remove it, log in to your server, open Control Panel/Administrative Tools and select Add or Remove Programs.
    Ensure, that Show Updates is ticked and see, if you can find anything mentioning Power Pack 3 in its name.
    If you cannot find it, find the file you downloaded to install Power Pack 3 Beta. This should have a KB number in it's name.
    Now in C:\Windows find the matching folder $NtUninstallKBxxxxxx$ and execute the spuninst.exe you find in the subfolder spuninst there.

    You are right. I remember downloading it. I just thought I never got around to installing it, and I was wrong. What threw me was when I looked at the setting in the WHS console, it said Power Pack 2 was installed (despite those version numbers). I guess I expected it to say the pre-release PP3 was installed.

    Thanks for the help!
