"After installing the November 2008 update gets installed on your home server,"

Do you want to edit that sentence?

For example -

"After installing the November 2008 update, your home server will be rebooted....(etc)"

Can I ask about something else?

Do you know when exactly will Windows Home Server be released on MSDN subscriber downloads? It has been confirmed like a month a ago that WHS will finally get MSDN but nothing happened for this long...

And is there any way to integrate Power Pack 1 directly into the installation file? There is WHS Power Pack 1 available on Newegg.com, so I guess the version they sell is the one that has PP1 integrated. So there got to be a way to get that Power Pack integrated, am I right?

I notice that there is a new version of DE included with this update - was there anything in it that might fix the "File Conflicts" that many have reported on the Microsoft WHS forums?

Then you're the lucky one, because I just got an update and after my client computer (Vista Ultimate) rebooted:

- Visual Studio cannot be started again (license corrupted, at least reinstal required)

- Outlook ost file claim to be unusable (created for another account?)

- Outlook can't connect to POP3 accounts any more (doesn't seem to retain passwords)

- VPN connections don't work any more

And that is just the start; it is going to cost me hours to get basic communication back, if I get it fixed at all...

And best of all: I can't reach https://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsHomeServer or is it down?

Back... and much happier now. I thought I'd share the solution :-)

simply repairing the Connector installation (via the control panel) and restarting a few times apparently did the trick.

Nothing needed to be reinstalled. My guess is the access rights on certain registry keys got screwed up for some reason...
