Boot Screen

Question
-
This may sound silly, but how about changing the boot screen when the server boots up? When my server boots up it says Windows Server 2003. Now this not a problem for me because I work eith Server 2k3, but for the average home user this my scare or freak them out a bit. I'm just thinking if somebody was to set this up for their parents or friend. Just a thought.Sunday, September 9, 2007 3:33 AM

Microsoft doesn't intend for most users to ever need to see the desktop on the server; the average home user will more likely be buying an OEM unit from a vendor such as Hewlett Packard or Gateway. These OEM units won't have KVM ports, so the user won't see the boot screen.Sunday, September 9, 2007 4:24 AMModerator

Hi!
In my German RTM copy the boot screen already says "Windows Home Server".
Maybe you are running RC1?

This is a known issue, and the Windows Home Server team is actively working on a resolution.

I think that the OEM software actually has instructions on how to change that screen. I may be mistaken on this. I have my OEM but have not installed it yet. Seems like there is some info in it.Tuesday, December 18, 2007 1:31 AM

Having installed the english Eval version, I can say that they do in fact have a Windows Home Server boot screen. Swish.Sunday, December 23, 2007 11:46 AM
