Microsoft Windows Home Server Power Pack 3 Due

Windows Home Server Power Pack 3 will be available on November 24 in all shipping languages, Microsoft announced Thursday.

Users must have Power Pack 2 installed on their Home Server and Power Pack 3 will automatically install as a Windows update.

Microsoft unveiled the Power Pack 3 beta in July, a few months after the premiere of Power Pack 2.

New features include backup and restore of computers running Windows 7, Windows 7 Libraries integration, enhancements for Windows Media Center, and better support for netbook computers.

As a result, when you install WHS connector and log on to a Windows 7 computer, you can access WHS shared folders from Win7 libraries. You can also suppress Action Center warnings about Windows backup and schedule your computer to wake up at a specific time for backup.
