INTRODUCTION

An update package for Windows Home Server is available.

Additionally, this update package changes the way that home computer backup technologies handle network interruptions.

This update package includes the following improvements:

  • Remote Access configuration and troubleshooting
    The configuration of Windows Home Server Remote Access may fail because of different factors. This package updates the remote access configuration steps and the corresponding Help files. This improvement helps you troubleshoot issues that occur with home network routers, with firewalls, and with other broadband implementations.
  • User Account tab
    This package updates the User Account tab. This improvement gives you more information when you use the Windows Home Server-related products for the first time.
  • Home computer backup technologies
    Network interruptions may occur in a home network environment because of connectivity problems. This update improves the backup technologies in Windows Home Server to help you back up data when a network interruption occurs. Backup operations can continue after a network connection is restored.
