Looking for help! I've got WHS PP1 OEM installed on a Dell 600sc server with 6 clients. Clients cannot access the WHS console remotely, and I get the blue screen and a message that I am not connected to the server. When launching the console locally on the server, I get a quick "splash" view of the console and it disappears. When I tried to repair the WHS Console in add/revmove programs, I get the message that "WHSProgramLauncher12.msi" is missing (path is in C drive). All 5 system drives show healthy in Device Mgr. and I have searched all drives for the missing file.
I can access all shares on the server and all server health indicators on clients are green. I'd like to reinstall/repair the WHS console without an OS reload. Everything appears fine except I have no access to the WHS console. I've removed all add-ins thinking one of these may be causing the problem. No luck.
I was part of the initial beta testing and have done numerous installs over that period. There have been no hardware or software changes of consequence over this period. I recently had to resore a PC and it went flawlessly with the exception of the loss of console access both locally and remotely. Any ideas?srr
As the Console is an integral part of the WHS section of the Install, I would be very suprised if you could do an individual repair with full confidence. Personally, I would do a re-install which is relatively straightforward - apart from the pointer rebuild time - to ensure it's done correctly.
