Any advice for a person putting a second WHS box on their network on how to best approach connecting the computers and doing the initial WHS box setup? I have a home brew job that is having issues and got a good deal on the ASUS unit. Both home pc's have the connector software already installed but I will need to run the initial routine on the ASUS box to set it up. Do I need to disconnect the old WHS box while I set up the new one? Do I need to run the Connector software disc to setup the ASUS box?

I plan to run both boxes for a bit. I only have 2.5 TB (2 bays out of 4 in use) in the ASUS box and 4.5 TB on the old box w/ 4 TB of data/duplication (7 or 8 drives).

Thanks for your input.
 
Run the program discovery.exe in the connectors program folder(%programfiles%\Windows Home Server\discovery.exe)
 
Thanks. I plan to flip it on tomorrow.

I did find out that you can only have a PC connected via the systray Console to one WHS box. You can still access the shared files from both. I think I will move everything but my video first. Then, move the larger rips first.

I will probably connect both my PC's to the ASUS Console and use it for backups. I figure I will still be able to remote (mstsc) into the old WHS box if I need to access more than the shared files but at least that will get rid of the constant corrupt files balloons I keep getting in my systray from the old box.
