WHS upgrading to PP2 RRS feed

  • Question

  • My system is running fine but has not yet updated to PP2 (April 3).  When I try to "Update Now, " the response is "no new updates."  I have tried this from the console as well as a remote connection.

    What now?

    Is this what you are asking?

    Yep.  You need to uninstall the beta version of Power Pack 1.  Log on to the server desktop, go to Add/Remove Programs (making sure Show updates is checked) and remove the PRERELEASE version of PP1, then reboot the server.  Keep checking for updates (and rebooting) until it says no new updates for Windows Home Server.

    What are the component numbers of your server?  (WHS Console, Settings button, Resources tab)

  • Thank you so much.   This has worked perfectly (so far).  WHS has saved my from two failed hard drives.  Just like it never happened.
