Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Thank you for that Igor. I have researched a replacement but I have a lot of data and I can't find a NAS which is very quiet and has an easy way of making off site disk backups. Have you any suggestions for a replacement? I am getting a bit out of date these days since I retired.
Hi, I have been using WHS 1. Regards, Vic Russell. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :.
Cancel Submit. It cannot natively do the things that servers can. But, with a little help from 3rd party software, it does a pretty good job. I highly recommend the Pro version of Windows After I decided to rebuild my home server, I was faced with the bitter reality that WHS was now an unsupported operating system. This sounds pretty easy.
HomeGroup has been discontinued as of the latest version of Windows build ? In WHS we created users, then those users were assigned permissions that allowed access to our shared folders. First, create any users that you want to have access to the shared folders. For a home server, this will probably be just a handful of people. The larger your user group is, the more time you will spend managing file access. First, create your users- these can be either Microsoft accounts or local accounts.
Click Add a user without a Microsoft account. Enter a username, password, and fill in the security questions. Then click Next. Follow the prompts to add the new user. You probably already did this during OS installation, but make sure your partitions are how you want them to be forever. I like to use different drives to separate my entertainment from my important files. A little planning now might save you a lot of headache later. Verify the structure of your partitions before you start adding shared folders.
This will make it easier in the long run. In File Explorer, navigate to the hard drive or partition where you want to add a shared folder. Right-click and select New Folder. You can rename it to whatever you want. Right-click on the newly created folder, then click Properties. Choose the Sharing tab. Click Advanced Sharing. Check the box that says Share this folder.
Give your shared folder a name. This is what will show up in File Explorer, not the actual folder name. Click Permissions. Remove the user Everyone. You can only add users that have an account on this computer. This is a known issue and the fix on the server is being targeted to be released tentatively in October Once the fix is patched, then there will be no user intervention required, all the downloading, installation and configuration will be automatically carried out.
In current scenario, the user has to download and install the client connector manually on the Windows 10 client, this manual process would not be required after applying this Windows Update to the Server. The update to support auto-redirection of Windows Server R2 Essentials for Windows 10 client connector is now available at:.
User needs to manually download and install the client connector until the fix on the server is available which is being targeted to be released tentatively in October November 17, Once the fix is patched, then there will be no user intervention required, all the downloading, installation and configuration will be automatically carried out - With the release of Windows Server Essentials, all client connector software will be available and no user intervention will be needed.
