HELIOS Tech Info #153

PCShare support for Windows 8.1

We tested the final version of Windows 8.1 (Build 9600, x86/x86_64) together with the current HELIOS PCShare UB2 version.

All client features work properly, including:

• accessing volumes via UNC
• mounting volumes as network drive
• printing
• PCShare client tools including Spotlight search
• HELIOS Admin (32bit Java required)
• WebShare Manager (32bit Java required)

Known issues:
- SMB printing from server to client (smbif) does not work. This will be fixed in an update or upcoming version.

Note: Windows 8.1 is currently not tested as a server platform for the HELIOS services.
