My brother has become quite envious of my xpenology and wants one too now so I have seen a ReadyNas Duo v2 and am thinking of putting xpenology on that dose anybody know if this is possible or is the hardware incompatible?

In my DMS I was able to set my task scheduler to automatically start up and shut down however I decided that the times I had originally put in didn't suit me so I deleted them and made a new set of power on/off schedules. I did this typically by selecting control panel >> Hardware & Power >> Power Schedule. Then I added the days of the week with the desired startup and shutdown times. Saving them and exiting the DMS however none of the new power schedule items run automatically. I have checked for other tasks which might be running at the same time but there are no other tasks scheduled at all. When I check ussing Control panel >> Task scheduler and look at the next run time they do change the time and date on screen however with no physical actions (powering on and off) having actually taken place? If I however right click and power off task and select run it dose fire off manually but obviously the trick here is to have it working as should which is automatically.

I will read up on the link you provided. The reason though I ask about the headless system though is because the original system is installed using a windows connector program (this being the very thing that WHS has trouble with). Thanks for the reply

I recently purchased a secondhand HP EX490 media server with Xpenology on it I am completely new to media servers and nas though am quite software capable. I was expecting windows home server to work (since I also got the original software along with it) but quickly discovered this not to be the case. I hesitated to use Xpenology but must admit it's actually quite good. The seller is long gone from the online market place I purchased it from which is a pity because I have some questions about xpenology. The first one is in have a loader program on a usb stick and the DSM on a harddrive. Is it possible to have the bootloader and DSM on a usb stick? Am I able to also save my media on the same harddrive as where DSM is located? And probably the most pressing question is how can I install Xpenology and DSM on a headless system (just in case I ever want to receive install it)? All up though I was reluctant to use Xpenology / DMS at first I am now very happy I gave it a go... Kind regards Griffin
