I do not know if my post went through so I apologize if there is a duplicate.
I have a question as to whether or not PCs part of a domain on the same AD will successfully connect to the WHS for shared media?
SBS2003R2 running DNS, AD and so on WHS 2008 running and communicating fine with pcs of a common workgroup PCs that are part of the domain controlled by the SBS2003R2???? Can they successfully connect and share media to the WHS?
Will work or not work? Any thoughts?
I could have just tried but prefer to do the research first.
Thanks for the reply. I did in fact try last night and it did indeed work just fine. However, the add-ins like Recorded TV or TV Manager are a bit of a problem because of the configuration.
I will take it off the domain later tonight to confirm but if you have any insights I am all ears. Thanks again.
Well, those add-ins are designed to work in a typical home network environment. Active Directory is a typical business environment. I won't say that you'll never get them to work, but you'll probably struggle.
One thing: Windows Home Server will, if you have joined it to your domain, start shutting down in a few days because you've violated one of the more strictly enforced terms of the EULA. Server reinstallation is the way to correct this.I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
