Find contentAbout Me
I've been in Technology for 31 years, started life as an assembler program and now I manage large technology iplementations in the Finance Industry, I built my first PC in 1992, it was painful as the internet wasn't anywhere near as pervasive as it is now, drivers and compatability probems where the norm, and lack if information or help for everything. Have built many more PC's over the years, including a HTPC and WHS. I mostly use my main rig for video editing.

I'm been playing around with the new interface I loke it, much cleaner than version 1 for sure.

Guys thanks for the links and comments. I am using the rocket raid in my WHS 2011 box and IE8. It has been working fine, I haven't installed anything on that box other than the Windows updates.
AFter reading your posts, I uninstalled Version 1, downloaded and installed version 2 and then wallah...operational again.
How did we ever survive without the internet and communities such as yours.
Many thanks! - Thread closed another happy Homeserver Forum member

In Topic: WHS2011 wakes up at 6am
20 October 2012 - 04:51 PM
Thanks Guys, you were correct about the start-up times are due to Shadow Copies, I thought I had disabled it on my drives, I checked and its enabled on my shares, probably a good thing, and the defaults are still set so it wakes up at 6:00am & 1:00pm to do the processing for a couple of minutes.
In Topic: Installing WHS 2011 on 60GB SSD
11 October 2012 - 04:40 PM
Hi PCDOC I'm not using any cloudbased solutions, I do an offsite back-up once a month, so there is a risk of lost data in a disaster, ie theft, fire etc.
I do like WHS2011 and how its a lot easier to do back-ups that can easily be removed from the server.
I have noticed that I can't read these drives if I attach them to a Win7 machine, however once I make them available to the WHS again it can read all the files.
Haven't had to do a WHS2011 Server OS restore yet(bare metal) but have done a bare metal on my client PC's worked perfectly.
Lights out works a treat as well.

Thought I'd post a picture of my WHS build and summary of the parts. One of the benefits of the Raid controller is how small the sata cables are.
I have 6 active drives (spare isn't connected) and there is a 120GB SSD in the top bay which is almost invisible.
The SSD (op system), 3TB drive back-up drive and a hot swappable drive housing for off-site back-up are connected to the mobo, the shares and PC back-ups are connected to the Raid controller in 2 separate mirrows.
The Fractal case is a beautiful case to use as a build, really impressed with the quality, I wanted a quiet case, it achieves that with the sound proofing, I also bought a silent PSU (its whiper quiet) and an aftermarket Arctic CPU cooler which is also very quiet.
I have installed Lights out, so power savings and regular back-ups are managed by it, works seemlessly all the time.
Really like WHS2011 expect I will run this for many years to come,
