Clean install is simplest way to install Windows Server, where you install on a blank server or overwrite an existing operating system, but you will need to back up your data first and plan to reinstall your applications. There are a few things to be aware of, such as hardware requirements , so be sure to check the details for Windows Server.
In-place upgrade enables you to keep the same hardware and all the server roles you have set up without wiping and reinstalling the operating system, by which you go from an older operating system to a newer one, keeping your settings, server roles and features, and data intact.
For example, if your server is running Windows Server , you can upgrade it to Windows Server However, not every older operating system has a pathway to every newer one and some roles or features don't support this or need you to take extra steps. In-place upgrade works best in virtual machines where specific OEM hardware drivers are not needed for a successful upgrade.

This process takes about 8 minutes on my dual-core EX, and about 20 minutes on the Atom powered LX Once all the installation files are copied to the server, it will reboot and the installation will continue from the files loaded onto the server. And accept obligatory license agreements.
Post in the comments if you actually read this all the way to the end. Give your server a suitable name that does not conflict with any other system on your network. Set the administrator password, and be sure to set up a helpful but not obvious password hint.
Be sure to do all server administration from the Server Dashboard, and only use the desktop for advanced server management tasks when you know what you are doing. And finally, your server is all ready to use! This entire installation process took about 35 minutes on my EX, and closer to an hour on the LX I hope this guide is helpful, and be sure to let us know in the comments or forums about your Vail installation experience.
I've kept active in the Windows Home Server community, creating several add-ins and helping users make the most of their Home Servers. Let me rephrase that. Are the steps outlined in the post about preparing media for a USB key install sufficient to install Vail on a headless device?
Your instructions were right on and everything worked. I installed on a DIY home server and the only difference was that I have a product key and used it. If you do install this on an HP server, can you still install and run the custom HP software? Also, what happens after 30 days? Does it just stop working?
Just a note, right after I started my first backup I got a warning notice that Vail has new updates already so you should go the the General Settings tab and selct to install updates now. My install has stalled. Says it can not find an internet connection, but gives me no chance to install drivers??? OK, so not the smartest server guy, but if it stops for no interner it is the drivers were not installed. Sign in to vote. I do want to continue using my WHS. Friday, November 6, PM.
