People like to customize things. With that said, I ran across an individual that had an issue with his WHS. He imaged his existing hard drive to a larger hard drive, but was left with the original disk name in the Windows Home Server Console. This poses no problems, but is more of an annoyance than anything. If you want to change the name, you can.

Have you seen the Drive Labler add-in?

Now I have. The reason I wrote the article was because a user on another forum had imaged a smaller disk and replaced it with a larger disk. WHS incorrectly kept the original disk "ManufatureName." It was more annoying than anything. This modification allows you to change the Name of the drive... if we can incorporate that into drive labeler, that would offer another layer of customization and offer resolution to those that suffer the same issue as the forum member the article was written for.
