I noticed this morning that a new update for Windows Home Server sneaked out yesterday.
Don’t worry, its not a major bug fix and unfortunately it’s not any new functionality!
It is an update to resolve a WHS Console screen resolution problem.
The update number and KB article is KB963032.
SYMPTOMS
When you open the Windows Home Server Console on a home computer that has a screen resolution that is lower than 1024 × 768, the Windows Home Server console may be displayed incorrectly.
RESOLUTION
An update is available to resolve this issue. This update enables the Windows Home Server console to support low-resolution displays. The lowest resolution that is supported after you apply this update is 1024 x 600.
If you have automatic updates enable you will get it shortly, or you can force an update by going to Settings and clicking Update Now.
This update does require a reboot of your Windows Home Server.
Excellent – the console will now fit on a netbook!
I have the 2.5 update installed on my EX470. When I installed this update, the transcoding service from the 2.5 update fails to start. I'm trying to figure it out.
Wondering if you tried the 2.5 upgrade hack and can confirm ?
Hi Diehard – no, I didnt hack my EX470 in the end, I decided to wait for the official supported release later in the year. Sorry I cant help there.
