    The easiest thing would be to do a server reinstall, you'd be done quicker.

    Good luck...

    Dennis, I don't need to inspect your WHS via remote desktop, thanks.

    I'm pretty sure, from what you've posted here, that your problem is with Drive Extender. But what the problem is, and how to fix it, could be a lengthy fishing expedition, and there's no guarnatee of success at the end. Rather than waste all that time for an uncertain outcome, I'm with SME: a reinstallation of WHS is the one thing most likely to result in a stable server.

    As he points out, you'll lose your installed software and users. Depending on what other problems exist, you could conceivably lose your backups and files as well; it really depends tremendously on what's really wrong and what other damage has been done. It sounds like you've already made a copy of all your files on an external drive; disconnect that before you start your reinstallation.

    When you've finished your reinstallation, take a long look at each application or add-in that you're thinking about reinstalling and decide whether it's essential that you have that capability on WHS. It's likely that one of the things you installed resulted in the present issues, but there's no way to tell at this point. WHS works best when you leave it alone and let it do it's thing; the more things you install, the more likely you are to have problems (this is true of any OS, not just WHS).

    Dennis, I think we need to start from the beginning, so here's a bunch of questions:
    • Was this new hardware for WHS, or repurposed from another OS?
    • If repurposed, how old?
    • When you installed WHS, did you encounter any errors?
    • Have you made any configuration changes to the server since then, using any tool other than the WHS Console?
    • If so, what have you changed?
    • Have you installed any software or add-ins on WHS?
    • How have you normally been accessing WHS, though the console, through Remote Desktop, or while sitting in front of a keyboard/mouse/monitor connected to the server?

    Based on the information we have so far, your issues could be caused by any number of things. The answers to the questions above will hopefully help us move in the right direction for a solution, but I'll warn you now that I think there's a good chance you will be reinstalling WHS.

  • Was this new hardware for WHS, or repurposed from another OS?  no but came from another windows (think that is repurposed)
  • If repurposed, how old? 1 year
  • When you installed WHS, did you encounter any errors? from beta2 i got it cant remember the date.. but got now rc
  • Have you made any configuration changes to the server since then, using any tool other than the WHS Console? yes i have installed vmware and utorrent but this is almost from the beginning
  • If so, what have you changed? see the other quistion
  • Have you installed any software or add-ins on WHS?  utorrent, program launcher, website manager
  • How have you normally been accessing WHS, though the console, through Remote Desktop, or while sitting in front of a keyboard/mouse/monitor connected to the server? most trough console but remote desktop and console too (for wlan settings) and some errors like my other topic's

    Hi!

    Please clarify: Are you accessing your shares from \\server\sharename ?

    The error you describe normally happens when you access your files from D:\shares, which is not the intended way.

    Regards, Alex

    I first tryed to access it with \\server\share

    then i tryed to access it on the server itself with that \\server\share

    and directly to d:/share

    BUT what works is to access it to C:/fs/5 and C:/fs/S for safty i maked a copy of all files there to a external harddisk

    Hi,

    Do this simple test to see if your share not broken:

    Run - then type in the box "\\servername\" do the share folders come up? If not, you have some broken issue, better to reinstall.

    My best.

    The "server reinstall" preserves backups and files on the shares, you only have to re-add users and installed SW, etc.

    I also agree with Ken, you should think twice about installing other software but one thing that I do suggest installing is AV, especially with utorrent because you never know if you're downloading something infected. If ran on WHS, without AV, you're in for more trouble. I've had very good luck with Symantec Corp AV solutions. YMMV

    Good luck...
