From my IT guy:
In summary to what I have read so far? Bert is correct that IF we had not used the Windows SBS Essentials connector wizard to join to the domain this could cause this issue but, we did. In fact, because this connect wizard was used previously to join the workstations to the old Windows Home server, we had to uninstall this Home server connector first and restart the workstations before the Windows SBS Essentials connector would run from
http://upg-server/connect. I have tried assigning these Windows 7 workstations static IPs, didn?t work. We spent several days with AC tier 1 & 2 technical support logged into the server and workstations troubleshooting folder permissions, firewall settings and on/off (the server firewall is currently off), nothing they tried worked so they gave up. JamesNT has a good point about creating user accounts via the SBS wizard. I did notice that they didn?t populate in the Dashboard as I expected. This is a quick and easy fix to try and I will try this fix this evening. Thanks for your input!
