Client limit in Windows Home Server?

I am thinking about using Windows Home Server in our small business due to its backup features (get's a weight off my back if it actually automatically backs up users computers).

Now I heard that there is a user/computer limit? Is that true? Could not find anything but want to be absolutely sure before making a buy.

We have 12 computers in the office currently and I would not be surprised if it grew to 20+ soon.

thanks. that svcks big time. why so few? stupid !@#$~@!#$ MS.
We con't do two WHS boxes.

Would be nice if they had a version that was limited to more users ... e.g. 50.

That would be Windows Server 2003 R2 or Small Business Server 2003. Did you notice the word "Home" in Windows Home Server?
 
sbs 2003 rocks. I use it...perfect rock solid with exchange, sharepoint and a great web based interface to remotely manage it all...

for the price, you cannot be it....

It's for home users, so even 10 is overkill for most.

Just get two of them; why can't you? For a business, they're dirt cheap.

lol...some people...
 
Yeah, WHS would even cover the brady bunch and the Ingalls. 10 seems very generous to me.

I was just about to post the exact same thing...

The WHS box, either as a pre-built $600 HP box or as a do-it-youself box, is well worth the price. A single PC restoration any time in the next five years will easily pay back the cost of the WHS box.

I've got clients with desktops with TONS of special configurations that would take days or weeks to rebuild properly. There's nothing like WHS for automated, ongoing backups of client PCs and for ease-of-restoration.
 
Why in the 1st place MS didn't include 64bit connection opitions? Is it solved yet thru an update?

Power Pack 1 will be released soon, which contains a 64 bit connector.

Probably because of time or cost constraints. One of the biggest problems with commercial develoment firms is the fact that they have to stay as close as possible to their time and monetary budgets, although MS has demonstrated a lot of "flexibility" with both in the past. =)
 
Yup. And "homes" today are mostly full of Dell and HP Windows XP 32-bit boxes. Home users buy lower-end, pre-built PCs, and those aren't 64-bit nowadays. I'd guess that fixing the "corrupted data" issue in WHS would take higher priority than finishing the 64-bit connector.
