Lights-Out Service Release 1.0.3 Available for Windows Home Server

Fellow WHS MVP Martin Rothschink has been in touch to say that there is a service release for the great Windows Home Server Add-In Lights-Out.

Here is what Martin says:

Please follow these steps to upgrade

• Uninstall your current version using WHS Console, Settings->Add-Ins
• Delete old msi file found in \\Server\Software\Add-Ins
• Download new version and store in \\Server\Software\Add-Ins
• Install new version using WHS Console, Settings->Add-Ins

Clients will be updated automatically within 5 minutes when you have a licensed version or during the trial period.

Otherwise execute the client installer \\Server\Software\LightsOut\LightsOutClientInstall.exe to update the clients.

You don’t have to uninstall the previous version on the client.

In case of problems please use Remote Desktop to connect to your server. Then zip the entire folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LightsOut and send the archive to me.
