“Windows Server Service Provider Registry” depends on “Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service”.Backup and Health depend on “Windows Server Service Provider Registry”.Looking in the service descriptions I tracked down the dependencies:.The 2 critical ones are “Windows Server Client Computer Backup Provider Service” and “Windows Server Health Service”.These are all set to “startup type” of Automatic.Windows Home Server installs a number of additional services, “Windows Server….” on the client machine (Start, type services, click on “view local service” scroll to the bottom).Do you want to sign in to offline mode”Īfter much searching etc I finally got to the bottom of the problem:

Install the WHS Connector works fine, however after the first reboot I am told that “The server appears to be offline.Get new Lenovo X220, setup with everything I need.Lots of home machines and no previous (major) issues.Have Windows Home Server 2011 – love it.Time lost that I will never get back, knowledge gained that I can only hope in some future life has some advantage!!!! (and if you are here just for this article then maybe you could look around a bit further ) Problem Summary:

This is off topic from service provider licensing, however on the basis that it is possible our partner community may be the type of people who could have Windows Home Server and may therefore have encountered this issue I thought I would post here.
