=== Home Server Console ===
This is the earliest available build to introduce the Home Server Console, a dashboard user interface that allows the administrator to configure various aspects of the server such as backing up the contents of associated computers, managing attached server disks, and the ability to create and modify user accounts. Users can remotely log onto an online server dashboard, host personal file shares on the server and publish images to the Internet—all of which is achieved through the use of the Home Server Connector software.
=== Windows Setup ===
The setup process bears a significantly different installation structure compared to other Windows Server releases. Unlike other releases based upon the Windows Server 2003 codebase (such as SBS 2003, which acts as the base for Windows Home Server), the setup process in this build makes use of the Windows Vista preinstallation environment. The user interface design appears mostly identical to Windows Server 2003's setup process, save for a different background image introduced in later builds.
The setup process first asks the user for a product key, and asks the user to choose which drive to format. The drive is then formatted under two partitions respectively named SYS and DATA, after which the base operating system's installation media is then copied over to the main system partition. The second stage of setup then starts by rebooting into the older i386-based setup under unattended mode, followed by multiple updates for both Home Server component integration and the base operating system.
