You should have them. They were included with the config. error issue.

Ok, I've done some investigating and have determined that the config file must have been malformed in some way. When it didn't work with the stable build,I completely removed scanner and reinstalled. When the installer didn't recreated the default config file (strange because I thought it would), I restored one from the very first install. Deleted all settings except for the one I needed, restarted the server and voila everything is working as it should as it pertains to the config. file.

I could be all wrong here, but it sounds like you may need to reset the pool (delete everything out of the C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool folder 1) Stop the service 2) Perform the Delete 3) Restart the server.

Scanner Beta Version: 2.5.0.2968 OS: WHS 2011 It appears that the drive description fields are linked to the drive # rather then the Drive Serial #. So When removing a disk and installing a new one (I guess windows is renumbering them) the description information appears to follow the # and gets all screwed up between drives.

Scanner Beta Version: 2.5.0.2968 OS: WHS 2011 Will send the requested info ASAIC

I think it was your thread that I referred to :-)... There's definitely a bug in there, and I would have left the version installed if I knew it was still working under the hood. Got a little nervous and went back to the stable build.

No it would never reconnect. I had to again delete the config file to get it to work.

Ok, so the service started, but Scanner will not connect.

No, it was 2.1.0.446, found in the beta download folder.

So, If I want to install the Scanner Beta, I need to first uninstall DrivePool?

Reverted Back to build .420 and all is back to normal.

Last night I see this. So following a similar post, I reset (delete everything out of the Program Data StableBit folder) and left it over night to run. Same problem this morning. Pool is organized but all stats are incomplete and everything greyed out.??

Using BETA When adding the string C:\ProgramData\StableBit Scanner\RunningScan.txt and coping Scanner.Service.exe.config back to the folder and restarting the Service I get a "Side by Side....." Error that refers to this error in the windows application error log. and the Service Fails to Start. If I delete the config file, the service will start. I've attached a copy. (Appended with .txt for uploading) Scanner.Service.exe.config.txt

What is the correct procedure for installing a BETA version in WHS 2011?

I spoke too soon. I woke up this morning and surprisingly enough DrivePool completed it's process overnight. I'm thinking maybe the % indicator was inaccurate measured.

This was a WHS v1 to WHS 2011 upgrade (new machine (old one failed)) and had everything running by early Saturday Morning. I set the duplication (folder) to match what WHS v1 DE. DrivePool has been running pretty much non-stop (maybe 4-5 reboots) and I'm only at 16.4%.(Picture below). It was suggested that this proccess should only take hours, but at this rate it's going to take a VERY VERY long time. 13 Drives (mix between 1,1.5 and 2 TB. EDIT: I forgot to mention, when I had to reboot, I noticed DrivePool started at a much lower % ... Like 4 and then maybe 8, etc..

Yes, I agree its a problem. I did look and there were no errors that let up to them droping out. I'm realy hoping it was a connection problem in the new N54L (a fluke). The 2 drives that dropped out were next to each other. I will be keeping an eye on it, I guess it will be a good test for DrivePool..

Ok, Is it normal (when a drive 'goes missing'), for Scanner to drop the drive also? Here's what happened: (DrivePool + Scanner) 1) 2 Drives in my new N54L unexpantly and for no aparrent reason went missing. 2) DrivePool showed the drives as missing, and has a helpfull bit of text that instructs for better drive location to use Scanner. 3) The problem is, the drives are not in Scanner either. (they were missing from the WHS drive tab also.) I would think that Scanner would make the detailed drive information persistant in order to help find the missing drive? Anyway; a reboot fixed the problem with the missing drives...

I figured it out. It apears that I can't follow instructions after all... When migrading from the DE folder, I Failed to create the 'ServerFolder' directory to move all the DE shared into...

New User Here... I just upgraded my WHS version 1 installation to WHS 2011 (old WHS V1 box died), by following the instructions posted here. I'm farily certian I followed the instruction, but All of the folders are empty. 1) When I open the folders in the Dashboard, they are empty. 2) When I open the folders across the network, the folders are empty. 3) When I open the DrivePool Folder via RDP everything is there. How do I get the functionality back on 1 and 2?
