#Windows home server 2011 product key install
In a yellow box, under the bold heading Important, you'll find these instructions:īefore you install Windows Home Server 2011, set your BIOS clock to match the time and date for the Pacific Time Zone (PST) regardless of where you are located in the world. I don't believe I have ever read instructions quite like those I found in Installing and Configuring Windows Home Server 2011. But for some reason, just to be thorough, I decided this time to read the release notes first. I've downloaded the installation image from TechNet, and under normal circumstances I would just start the installation and see where things go. I've been running the release candidate for a couple months with no issues, and I'm planning do a clean install, so I expect no problems. I'm about to install the final release of Windows Home Server 2011. WHS 2011 will support a RAID configuration, WHS 2011 will support a mouse, monitor and keyboard (although this depends on your OEM license if you get your server via OEM), and it prompts you for your time similar to Windows 7 when you install the server that doesn't require you to change the time in the BIOS. It seems that the documentation here is incorrect online and is a snap-shot of our first Beta documentation. Update: Microsoft Program Manager Sean Daniel left a comment in the Talkbacks: It also shows a revision date of April 17. The document contains a revision date of Apand no longer includes the odd instructions documented in this post, which were left over from the original beta documentation. In addition, a set of formal release notes for Windows Home Server 2011 is now available, documenting some more obscure issues that you might encounter. Update 18-April: At long last, Microsoft has posted revised installation instructions for Windows Home Server 2011.
