That’s the server installation completed. However, Microsoft have included an additional update file (known as a QFE or “Quick Fix Engineering” update KB2314472) which must also be installed on the server after the main OS has been installed.

Does anyone know when the final version will hit the market.

The assumption is towards the end of the year, but that's just a guess

If I install over the previous version of home server (version 1), will I lose all files in the data disks?

http://www.wegotserved.com Terry Walsh

Yes you will.

And upgrading from the preview to the "final" version?
Thanks

I'd be *very* surprised if an in place upgrade is available from Preview to RTM, and to be honest, even if there was, I wouldn't recommend it. These are very much beta builds, and shouldn't be relied on as production quality. You really don't want to put all of your data on there without a decent backup.

Can the refresh be installed over the first beta / vail?

http://www.wegotserved.com Terry Walsh

No, it'll need to be a fresh install with your data copied back to the server.
