This utility will be available again soon. New information has come to light and I need to re-duplicate this issue so I can update the utility. For now, see:

This utility will allow you to remove an unwanted client PC from the Computers and Backups tab in Windows Home Server.

To use: Download the whsremoveclient.zip file and save it to your Windows Home Server hard drive (you can download this to your PC, and then use the Shared Folders icon on your Desktop, then copy the file to your Windows Home Server hard drive). Log into your Windows Home Server (either at the console, or via Remote Desktop) machine. Locate the whsremoveclient.zip file and double-click it. Then extract the EXE file from the ZIP and run it. This utility MUST be run from the Windows Home Server and NOT a client PC.

IMPORTANT: Removing a computer cannot be undone. If you remove a client PC in error, you will have to remove and reinstall the Windows Home Server Connector software on that computer in order to "re-join" it to the Windows Home Server.

If one or more client PC's is removed, a reboot of the Windows Home Server machine will be required for the changes to be reflected.

This utility is only designed to run on Windows Home Server Beta 2. As it is written to support beta software, no support is provided.
