Hi folks, I have had this HP Home Server EX495 for a couple years. I use it strictly for backups of one PC. Like most folks on this site, over the past couple years I have switched motherboards in the PC a few times, switched OS hard drives, switched OS, and botched a few OS installs. The Computer name entered in the OS setup has always been the same. Every time, I make one of these changes the server thinks it is a new computer it is talking to. I never thought this was much of a problem. Until now.

I just completely redid my setup. New MB, new HD, new processor, etc. After a fresh Win7 install, I went to load the HP setup to connect my PC to the EX495, I get a message saying that I am only allowed to link 10 computers under WHS. I have seen suggestions to delete one of the computers from WHS. Nice idea, but I need to connect before I can delete one.

Any ideas how I get into the server? I would prefer not to loose 2 years of work data backups.

Thanks,
Bob
 
You can RDP into the server and login using the user Administrator and the admin password, then launch the WHS control panel from there.

Just launch Remote Desktop from any win pc and type in the name or IP of the server in question.
