One feature missing in Windows Home Server Beta 2 is the ability to remove a client PC from the list of computers that are to be backed up. Why would you do this, you ask?  Son or daughter goes away to college, joins the Peace Core or becomes an anti-technology street mime.  Suddenly the computer is no longer available to be backed up.  But its still joined to the Windows Home Server and the server will still want to back it up.

 

A solution is here.  See http://www.dougknox.com/whs/whsremoveclient.htm for a small Visual Basic program that will allow you to remove the unwanted client PC from the Computers and Backups tab in Windows Home Server.

 

Note: This software is only intended to support Windows Home Server Beta 2.  As such, it should be considered Beta software and is not supported.
