#Synology drive server download install#
The first stop in this manual install is your old friend SCONFIG.Ī s you can see – I have already enabled and configured some important settings here: I’m not going to cover a vanilla install of Windows Server, so I pickup from just after the first logon where I have the opportunity to set the local Administrators password. I’m going to be managing this system (once it’s configured) using Windows Admin Center, but completing the setup will take a bit of wrangling. This can pose some challenges when you complete the install and need to fine tune and configure it. In case you didn’t know - it does not have a GUI. I came across a few interesting things took a bit of time to solve so I thought I’d share my experience making this server with you here – in case you come across these yourself in your travels. I decided it was time to repurpose one of my "home lab" servers to be a replacement and wanted to take a kick at the can of setting it up as a headless Windows Server 2019 File Server that I could connect up with Azure File Sync for some "cloud connected" storage.
It had plenty of disk space and performed well enough - but the version I had lacked any real power or cloud connectivity. My old Synology NAS for home use had started to show signs of wear and was in need of replacement.
