Microsoft release Windows Home Server Power Pack 1

July 23, 2008

Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 (PP1) is a major functional upgrade to WHS, offering a number of important and major new features:

x64 client compatibility that was a curiously missing pieces in the original shipping version of WHS.

PCs running Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) are no longer incorrectly identified as “Longhorn Server” in the admin console.

WHS finally supports long file name paths of more than 240 characters.

On new WHS + PP1 server installs, processor power management is now enabled and the Server Balanced Process Power and Performance power scheme is used by default.

Major network performance improvements due to change in content balancing between drives.
