The Home Server Show Podcast

It's a packed show this time.  We are showing off the new Chromecast and talking about the network issues with 2012 Essentials R2.  Got some Drobo and SkyDrive news for you and we are in the forums a lot!  Big show, no Meetup talk this time so enjoy! The YouTube for this episode is really good. Jim Collison can be found here and on Twitter. John Stutsman writes for HomeServerShow.com and can be found on Twitter SkyDrive protest Drobo merger.  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/17/drobo_has_never_been_profitable/ (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/17/drobo_has_never_been_profitable/) Jim found a  Buffalo Terastation Searching for a network card for the N54L The Dual Port NIC is: Intel EXPI9402PTBLK Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 2 x RJ45 - OEM Newegg has it much more expensive at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106015 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106015) and the SYBA Card (http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Ethernet-PCI-express-Controller-SY-PEX24028/dp/B00965J4TS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375319471&sr=8-2&keywords=dual+nic) The Intel single port NIC that worked for John Stutsman is the Intel EXPI9301CTBLK Network Adapter 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45 Newegg has a better price at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033) HSS Forums Noticed http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/161bf5f0-b6d3-4c0c-9beb-b9fb0ea1bc1f/windows-server-2012-fails-on-hp-n54l-microserver (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/161bf5f0-b6d3-4c0c-9beb-b9fb0ea1bc1f/windows-server-2012-fails-on-hp-n54l-microserver) HSS Blog Postings & Podcasts: Blog Postings & Podcasts on Windows Server 2012 Essentials (http://homeservershow.com/tag/windows-server-2012-essentials) One of the best write-ups IMHO for getting started/background on Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview the Essentials Experience (http://www.tinkertry.com/windows-server-2012-r2-essentials-preview-the-essentials-experience/) by Tinkertry TechNET: What’s New in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303448.aspx) IMHO a great all round reference If you want to support this podcast please shop via our affiliate links. iOS App Store (http://bit.ly/tIe3aF) Newegg.com (http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3070213-10440557) Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2F&tag=thehomsershop-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325)(http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thehomsershop-20&l=ur2&o=1) Dell.com and Dell Outlet (http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3070213-10673373) KeepVault for Windows Home Server (http://www.keepvault.com/products.php?refer=rr_17) HomeServerShow.com is hosted by KnownHost.com (http://www.knownhost.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=525) Follow the Podcast on Twitter!

I've got an alternative backup idea for you and will share that as well as a little follow up on last week's show.  A lot going on in the forums and we will talk about some posts.  Big week for the Meetup and I'll announce a few things about that.  This was a fun show!  Enjoy. Jim Collison can be found here and on Twitter. I had an SSD question. Forums are really hopping lately! (http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5824-untangle-router-talk-to-me/) It’s an absolute blast to chat with you guys in these forums.  Thank you so much for particpating like you do. Alternative Backups I’ve been to Fry’s again and have a few things to discuss and share.  New Egg search on externals. $99 at newegg, $79 at Frys. Good deal on an external enclosure. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817826002) If you already have a drive laying around why not put it to good use. Also found this SanDisk 128GB SSD for $99 at Fry’s and it is $89 at newegg.  Was going to do the “match internet prices” thing at Frys but they were out of stock. This SSD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-239-045&Tpk=N82E16820239045) popped up on sale today: Patriot Memory Gauntlet Node PCGTW25S 2.5" Black USB 3.0 Wireless Hard-drive Enclosure - Fits 2.5" HDD/SSD Wifi Storage     Same at Fry's only cheaper!

On this episode of the Home Server Show we are going to install (or try) Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on my HP N54L. During the install we will be looking at Jim Collison's install screens and going over what's new, Virtual Machines, and a whole lot more.  We also go over Windows 8.1 and a little bit on RT.  Enjoy. Don't forget the YouTube for this one.  There are a lot of screens to see so the video might be better than the audio! Meetup 2013 Get registered!
