OSCOT

Since it’s release in November of 2007, Microsoft has been actively trying to manage and promote it’s Home Server operating system into the homes of multi pc users.  Although some support for x64 bit Vista systems was not available before, they are readily available now.  Home Server now detects which connector versions are running and prompt you to update either the connector or the server so that they can now communicate effectively. 

Other features include:

• When adding a hard drive to Windows Home Server, a user is now presented with an option to use the hard drive for backing up the home server. 
  

• When adding/editing a user in the Home Server Console, in addition to enabling remote access for that user, there is now a drop down list box that allows you to specify whether the user will have access to the computers tab, the shared folders tab, or both tabs when logged in with Windows Home Server Remote Access. 

• If the backup database on the home server has a consistency error, you can now use the backup database repair wizard to attempt to correct this error. The repair wizard can be launched through the Backup Settings page in the Windows Home Server Console.
