Hi .
Context:
:Win 7 laptop connecting well to the WHS console; Win 7 to be installed on desktop after a win XP failure, hence the need to reinstall the WHS connector on the desktop for getting access to the WHS console
. But got the famous message that the password was wrong.
After many hours searching various solutions and reading all threads , i eventually got it working.
I first tried different options suggested in this thread or others , including :
. checking time was the same on the WHS machine and on my desktop
. Checking my desktop could access to shared folders on other PC's
. Creating a win 7 elevated administrator account ,
. checking WHS and desktop were in the same work group.
None of these worked until the time I double checked again ( with my win 7 laptop) the time on my WHS. For some unexpected reason , it had changed again . I put the right time and as soon as I did it , the WHS shared folder icon appeared on my desktop
screen !!! I then run the WHS connector installation which ran quite smoothly.
Here is the final set up :
. My win 7 desktop has normal access to shared folders on the other PC's
. Session opened as a "standard " administrator account , using the same log in name as one of these registered on my WHS . The level of permission issue raised in some threads therefore does not seem to me to be so relevant.
. WHS and desktop and laptop are in the same workgroup . But I can not say whether this is or not a prerequisite .
Conclusion : check and double check time on the WHS machine.
Hope this will help.
