New Windows Home Server Update KB957825

Last night a new update was released for Windows Home Server. It's called KB957825 and is described like this:

This update improves the interaction between home computers that are running Windows Vista and a Windows Home Server-based system when you copy files or folders to a shared folder. Other storage-related improvements are included to address specific issues that are listed in the "More Information" section. Additionally, this update resolves certain issues that may occur when you restore files and folders from Windows Home Server. The update also improves the search functionality when you use remote access.

You should get this update automatically, but if you do not (or are just impatient) you can click the Update Now button under Setting on the General tab.

You can also install while connected to your Home Server via Remove Desktop by running Windows Update.

Fin. Why not comment on what you've just read or even Digg It!

After installing the update, the WHS icon on the clients went red and asked me if I wanted to upgrade the client software. I selected yes, but the install would only finish with errors. I ended up having to run the client setup from the Server Connector Software folder (found in the Shared Folders) on each PC to make it work again.
