Dashboard DrivePool tab not showing

[ScottB]

Hello, first let me say that I love Drive Pool.  Been using it on WHS 2011 for a long time now and works great.  I just picked up a new Dell T20 Pentium G3220 last week for $140 shipped, put in 16gigs of ram and and moved over to Server 2012R2 with Essentials role.  I've read that you should see a Drive Pool tab in the Essentials Dashboard but it never shows up, I can remote in and open up Drive Pool and everything is running fine.  I did install Drive Pool and moved over all my stuff from the old server before I set up the Essentials role if that makes a difference, any advice would be great.

 

Hardware:

Dell T20 Pentium G3220

20GB DDR3

1 Crucial M4 128 SSD OS drive

1 Samsung HD204UI 2TB drive - drive pool

2 WD Red 3TB drive - drive pool

1 WD Blue 500G - Server OS backup drive

 

Thanks,

Try reinstalling StableBit DrivePool.  We only install the dashboard files if we see the Essentials files present. Since you installed the role afterwards, you won't have the proper files present.

 

And you may want to reboot after reinstalling.

Thanks that did the trick, everything good now.
