Can't permanently remove English (United States) language

0
0
I'm using English (New Zealand) as the default language on my WHS and associated computers.  The WHS keeps resetting its default language to English (United States) even though I've repeatedly removed this language both from the console and RDP.

Every time I access the WHS by either method following a restart, I am faced with the language bar.  In the console, I can turn off the bar and remove the US language (following a prompt that US English is in use and will be removed following a restart/logoff), and this will persist until the next time the WHS is restarted.  This means that the next time I log into the console, the language bar is gone, and presumably NZ English is being used.  After restarting the WHS system and opening the console again, US English is back to being the default language.

This is the same behavior I see when connecting to the WHS using RDP.  I can remove US English (following the same prompt), logoff from RDP, and immediately reconnect and find US English is again present and used as the default language.  Auuuugh!

How can I get this language removed "permanently"?  I tire of seeing the language bar and I wish the OS would recognize that US and NZ English are not different enough to require bothering me with language selections.

Thanks!

Windows Home Server 2011 and the Turtle Beach Audiotron

0
0

The Turtle Beach Audiotron was a internet tuner which has the ability to access music media files stored on a PC as well as internet radio stations.  It's O/S is based on Windows CE.  The last version of the firmware3.2.25 gives you the ability to compile and store a internet radio station list on a local computer.  Previously with WinXP it configured with not problems.  With Windows Home Server I get an error: 

Found Host HOME-PC in group WORKGROUP @ 192.168.1.70
Found Host MAUDEFRICKERT in group WORKGROUP @ 192.168.1.74
Host HOME-PC found at IP 192.168.1.70
\\HOME-PC - Error accessing host, Error = 50
Host MAUDEFRICKERT found at IP 192.168.1.74
\\MAUDEFRICKERT - Error accessing host, Error = 50

Maudefrickert being the WHS2011 Server.

I found a blog by Dave Glover explaining how to tweak Windows Server 2008 to make the Auditron work.  I curious to know if this would also apply to WHS2011 and how risky these "adjustments" are as he explains it will leave you more vulnerable.

Replacement for Hamachi

Hello Everyone,

I have been using Hamachi 2 ever since WHS has come out. Logmein is dropping the free version and I can't seem to find a replacement that works like Hamachi to be able to backup a computer at a different location on different network automatically. So does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks

[WHS 2011] Can't set up domain name

0
0

Hello

I have some problems to set up the .homeserver.com domain name on WHS 2011. I'm trying since 2 days but I can't get it working.

I created a @live.fr email account (well I would have prefered a live.com....), it works, I can connect to it with a web browser. But with the domain set up wizard from WHS 2011, it doesn't work. It says:

"The user name or password is incorrect. Retype yout user name and password"

But I'm sure, the data I filled in the form are correct, there are no doubts.

With my @hotmail.com address it works. I can't understand.

 

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Additional question.

Does the generated certificate contains information like name ou email address of the Live ID account?

 

 

Thank you.

 

Failed Backup Code - Unexpected Error 0X79

I have been a very happy user of WHS V1 for a few years. It has saved me a few times! I have used it to backup one of my desktops plus other laptops. I have it backup C,D,E,G, and K - multiple OS and data drives on my desktop computer.

It worked fine until about 10 days ago when I encountered the following failure of the C Drive back up: (now every night I get this error. Can one of you smart people tell me what it means and how I can get back to the place where it backs up all of my drives every night and I can sleep with out fear:-)? Many thanks in advance

Problems with Lights Out

0

I've been using an Acer H340 NAS for a number of years. Running WHS v1. It finally died and I got another one for cheap.

Problem. My old NAS ran 24/7 and I was happy with that. New H340 shuts down if there's no activity. So I log in the NAS and go to Lights Out. I change Client Monitoring time to 100 minutes and then to Do Nothing. Problem.  At the bottom are four buttons, OK, Cancel, Apply and Help. The Apply button remains grayed out no matter what I change. If I click OK then when I go back into Lights Out nothing has been changed/saved. Looking for suggestions????

WSUS server access through we browser.Is there any way Accessing WSUS through Web Browser like iDRAC or ILO.

WSUS server access through we browser.Is there any way Accessing WSUS through Web Browser like iDRAC or ILO.

As much I am aware this is not possible due to its application design specifications. There is no "web browser" support for any functionality in WSUS

If yes then how can we configure WSUS for the same.

Outlook OST and PST files

Ok, I can't find it now, but I seem to recall seeing a post about a problem restoring the OST and PST files in Outlook when you're connected to an Exchange mail server. Something about Outlook thinking the OST and PST files are corrupt after being restored.

Does anyone else remember seeing this?

Thanks,
Doug

Remote Desktop now will not connect to Windows Home Server

0
0

Back in February 2014, Remote Desktop (RDT) would always connect to WHS after a short argument about the validity of the server security certificate. Now it just absolutely refuses to connect at all despite being offered the lowest security settings possible with Windows 7 Professional.

The current security certificate refers to a https URL  but I am of course trying to connect using RDT to //HPStorage/ for which there is of course no such certificate as the box is sitting in front of me.

Rather than buy another certificate, which might work, is there any other way than with RDT to access this server?

SMS messaging from Powerchute for UPS?

I have a BX1000G-CA and wonder if it is possible for it to send out an email or SMS/text message during a power outage.  Does the Powerchute software (any version home/business) support this?  I need my PC to notify me of a power outage remotely since AC power controls water level indicators/alarrms and sump pump systems in our home.

WHS Restore CD won't install network drivers?!?

0
0
I know that similar questions have been posted in this forum, but so far, after days of working the problem and searching for solutions, I'm still unable to get the WHS Restore CD it see my network card or install the drivers.  I'm hoping that some kind folks on the forum might be able to finally set me straight.  Here's the general info:
 
1)  Acer Aspire EasyStore H340
2)  WHS with Power Pack 2
3)  clinent PC - Dell Studio XPS Laptop
4)  Windows Vista 64bit (service pack 2)
5)  Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet (chipset 5784)
6)  I've downloaded the latest WHS Dual Boot Restore CD (version 1800, dated 7/21/2008)
7)  I've placed the Broadcom drivers into a folder named "DRIVERS" in the root directory of my USB drive.
8)  I've tried 4 different sets of drivers.
          a)  from C:\DELL\Network\Drivers
          b)  from my laptop's - C:\Windows Home Server Drivers for Restore
          c)  from a WHS backup image - C:\Windows Home Server Drivers for Restore
          d)  downloaded latest drivers directly from the Broadcom website.

When I boot with the restore disc, NO Ethernet adapters show up in the Network Devices portion of the Detect Hardware window.  I click on "Install Drivers" and the click "Scan" to get the drivers from the USB drive.  I ALWAYS receive a message that "Drivers were found for your hardware", however the ethernet adapter is NEVER added to the Ethernet Devices window.   I've tried briefly to get things working correctly on an XP machine (running Service Pack 3) and have had very similar network issues.  So at this point, my issues don't seem to be a Vista vs. XP thing.

At this point, I'm simply at a loss for what I can try next.  I really like WHS.  It's been great for serving music, photos, video, etc.  I also use it with Avast Anti-virus for WHS to protect all my networked computers.  However, in my opinion, the MOST IMPORTANT function of my WHS is to backup all my networked computers so that I have a reliable means of restoring any computer should the need arise.  WHS backs up each computer wonderfully, but unfortunately, the key feature of RESTORING a computer seems to be VERY problematic.  In the past I've always used Norton Ghost with an external USB hard drive.  I've been hoping to move away from that method, but at this point... at least that works!

Any help that anyone might be able to provide would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

I am having Windows 7 Home Basic version installed in my computer. I want to know how many connections can be established to share the documents. Is there any limit to the number of connections?

If so what is the optimum number and to resolve this what is the next move? Will professional version help? What is that connection limit? Please help. Thanks.

Windows SBS 2008 and Third party Web application

0
0

Our client runs SBS 2008. Recently they installed a third party application on their SBS server. This app has a web app available so couple of users that are remote, can access this application remotely. It will not be used heavily.

We have installed a third party certificate on this server that points to mail.company.com for mail and SBS Remote Workplace. Is it possible to add a separate third party certificate for this new web app on the server? I know that SBS server advertise itself as the main certificate that is installed. Usually this is remote.company.com or mail.company.com

Anyone has tried this before?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Zahra

Can't find Home Server message when trying to restore PC, all PC's are Windows 7

Suddenly cannot connect to WHS via Home Server Console OR RDC

0
0
I had not logged into my server for about a week now, though I have connected to the shares a number of times.  Yesterday, I installed SP3 on my computer.  I then wanted to check something on my server, but found I could not connect via the Home Server Console or the Remote Desktop Connection.  I found that I could not connect to the console:  "This computer cannot connect to your home server. Check you network connection and make sure your home server is powered on."  Note that the WHS icon in tray is green and I could access the file shares.  Remote Desktop Connection gave me "Remote Desktop Disconnected | This computer can't connect to the remote computer."

Vaguely remembering there was some issue with XP SP3 connecting to the WHS, I decided to restore my computer from the previous night's WHS backup.  I thought this would be quickest way back into the server, which is "headless" in a closet away from my other computers.  The restore was great--I was back in under 10 minutes.  But still could not connect!  That's when I realized this wasn't likely an SP3 issue.  I then tried an older computer that I hadn't booted in several days.  Still running XP SP2 without this week's hotfixes.  Another no go.  Tried yet another XP SP2 PC with the same result.

Now the only thing that dawned on me is that my WHS probably applied the latest hotfixes this week.  Now I am wondering if one of those caused my issue?  Of course, tomorrow I plan to carry this server across the house, plug it up to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and see if I can see anything.  But I have to say that this "headless" business doesn't seem to work nearly so well in WHS as compared to a Linux or UNIX computer....

Has anybody seen connection issues recently?  FWIW, I'm still able to access file shares and I think the nightly backups are still running.  Anybody got suggestions before I unplug and lug my server?  Thanks!
