Bug Report PP1 Public Beta the Correct Way

If you are testing Power Pack 1 Public Beta it is important that your bug reports (if any) go to the right place. The bug reporting form on MS Connect should be used for this, as this is the only way that the Home Server team can track and subsequently fix any issues that you bring up.

Every submitted bug report should include accompanying CAB numbers so that the Home Server team can look at the logs and try to help resolve the issue.  Depending on whether you are experiencing an issue related to your home server, your home computer, or both, you need to submit the logs and the CAB numbers for your home server, your home computer, or both as well. 

This CAB number can be obtained once the Windows Home Server Toolkit has been installed. More information on how to install the Toolkit, and how to get a CAB number from your home server or home computer are available from Pages 21 and 22 of the Release Documentation that is downloadable from Connect.

On thing to note is if you are using the Vista 64bit version of the Windows Home Server software then the Windows Home Server Toolkit can not be installed on it. In this case Zip the following folder and upload it with your bug.

XP Machine:
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Home Server\logs

Vista Machine:
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Home Server\logs

Home Server logs:
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Home Server\logs
