With the release of Home server RC the other day I though it was time I loaded it up and put it through its paces.
Although still unsure if I actualy need a home server I thought I would install it on the right kit from the start.
Server:-
IBM xSeries206
P4 3gig
1gig Memory
300gig SATA Western Digital Drive
So with a very lighter wallet, I start the installation.
The setup took around 40mins and used the same type of installer as Vista, so far so good. After the installation was completed it promts me for a supidly strong password, reboots and its ready to go
I spend the next half hour adding drivers and setting up my nework shares though the very simple "Windows Home server console"
Now it is finaly time to run the Home server connector software on my PC, I connect in to the servers network shares and go to the software folder then run the setup.......
Oh dear, none of the PC's in my house have a 32bit OS and havent for the past few years
Just WTF are microsoft thinking, their new flagship product stuck in the 32bit past. Very disapointing Microsoft very disapointing.
