I noticed on slide 24, there is a reference to a product called Windows MulitPoint Server.The HP MediaSmart Server system drive is divided into two partitions, one 20GB partition for the OS and system files, and the rest devoted to storage for the data pool. RECOVERY DISKS INCLUDED Sean Daniel released a slide deck for SMBNation Presentations on Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials and 2011 Standard. Pre-owned Pre-owned Pre-owned.
All was going well, I connected 1 keyboard that has 2 USB slots, so 1 for the wireless mouse dongle. Looks like you need to have a USB hub for each keyboard and mouse for each workstation and a video connection on your server for each monitor. Run the Server Recovery Disc to upgrade your server software to HP.So I downloaded the 2010 version and installed that on a 1TB drive on my Shuttle SG33G5M with a 880GT. This document explains how to upgrade your HP MediaSmart Server EX470/475 server.
During the install however, when I tried the product ID, it told me that this Office product could not be run from a Terminal Services setup. Once I setup the monitor correctly, I was able to run each workstation from the Multipoint server independently, cool.Now what ? I decided to install Office 2010 Pro on the server, since I have a Technet subscription. This becomes important if you plan on connecting 10 workstations that WMS can support.Then my 2nd terminal has a USB wired device that controls a wireless keyboard & mouse.
Do a backup.Install Office 2010 with Terminal Service license. Sharing is on baby.I could find my WHS and download and install the connector, great again. I was able to see my network, great.I setup Media Player and it found my content, great again.
This allows for virtually unlimited distances between stations. Support for connecting thin clients over the LAN. Desktop thumbnails that make it easier for teachers to orchestrate activities across the classroom, see what students are working on, and interact with student sessions. So now I’m up and running.Here’s some other good points about MutiPoint Server 2011, I picked up a 4 port USB hub $6 and replaced the “2nd terminal has a USB wired device that controls a wireless keyboard & mouse”. Can’t login, WHAT ? Go back to connect site, found this.Oh well, a brick wall, I need to find some USB hubs.Ok, I’m back.
Support for domain join to integrate Windows MultiPoint Server with your existing Active Directory infrastructure like Aurora and SBS7.I’m looking at starting a project on building a VGA/PS2 interface for the HP MediaSmart and the Acer H340 EasyStore servers.HP has come out with their 3rd generation home servers, the EX49x and I know Microsoft prefers WHS boxes to be headless. An ISV extensibility model based on a common SDK with the next versions of Windows Small Business Server and Windows Home Server, which enables ISVs such as learning and classroom management providers to integrate with MultiPoint Server. Turn one screen into two separate stations for a new way of collaborative learning between students. Split screen capabilities at each user station. Great for labs and libraries where there are a large number of stations in a single place.
I have to purchase a minimum number of PCB’s to place an order so I’ll end up with extras.Next I will have to build a cable to connect the two. So anyone can tweak it for themselves. You can find the software here I plan on making the PCB parts template and PCB design available for '>download.
Hp Mediasmart Server Ex470 Server Recovery Disk Update This Blog
Everything has been improved, right, WRONG.The HP EX490/5 so far has been HP’s best home servers yet. Ok, so you love your EX470/5 but you want to move on to the new EX490/5, it’s time. I’ll update this blog post as things develop.Join me in the forums where we can discuss it.
2 GB stick, but you can start with a 256MB stick, use whatever costs less. So you will have to test the thumb drive, more on this later.I tried this on a Gizmo Jr. This is important to know because you might have done everything right and it still doesn’t work.
Now go back and enable that MediaSmart Server device.Next, since the EX490/5 has a different NIC card, you need the drivers from Realtek. Now open My Computer you should see the hidden partition and copy those file to your PC where you will work with them. After the reboot RDC back in. RDC into your EX470, right click My Computer, properties, hardware, device manager, open up System devices, disable the MediaSmart Server device, reboot. Since it’s a hidden partition you need to unhide it. Thanks Donavon.Next, you need the boot software from the hidden partition on the EX470/5.
BSRTDIf you use the EX490/5 Server Recovery DVD as is, it will try and run the PXE boot stuff. Test it on your PC and boot from it to see if the Server recovery software starts, if it does, shut down your PC and remove it. The size should be 120,038 KB.Now your external USB Bootable Server Recovery Thumb Drive is ready. It is in the \PXE\Boot folder. 5.742 Replace the drivers in the \drivers folder with the new ones.Next, open up the SOURCES folder and replace the boot.wim file with the boot.wim file from your EX490/5 Server Restore DVD.
Then burn a new Disk.Now to recover the server. Copy this disk to your desktop, then replace the Recovery Image folder with the same folder from the EX490/5 Disk. You can also replace the Home Server Connector Software with the one from the EX490/5 Software Installation Disk.This is the EX470/5 Server Recovery Disk.
Now go ahead and Restore your EX490 while it’s still connected to the network. It should find the server. Run the newly created Server Recovery DVD. Wait 5 seconds then push the system drive back in. ( this is so you don’t have to fiddle with the reset pin). Pull the system drive out 1 inch so that it does not make contact with the rear back plate.
Or pull all your drives out and try it on a spare system drive.
