Windows Home Server Beta 2 installed finally!

Posted on by

I finally got Windows Home Server Beta 2 installed. On the machine I wanted to run it on it took several hours as it was hanging. Finally performing a Bios update on the machine got the software installed. This machine just meets the minimum specs so it will be interesting to see how it performs on it. I also installed it on Virtual PC 2007 while I was testing the downloaded images. It seems to work fine there and I will be reporting more after a few more tests. Now it is late and I am off to bed

DST Change, Did your system switch?

Posted on by

A quick check of 3 or 4 of my managed servers have all shown that they have successfully changed over to DST. Email tests have also shown that exchange is functioning properly. We are advising Sysguy clients to check their appoints in Outllok as soon as possible to ensure that meetings are correctly booked for the next three weeks.

If you haven’t already you should check your own PC and make sure that the time flipped over successfully this morning.

I am sure that we will have to go through this again all over in the first week of November. Hopefully by that time Microsoft will have a patch out or at least make sure that the current patches work and that they are not releasing patches and changing Knowledge Base articles 3 days before the change.
