decided to do away with home server 2011 and installed windows 10 pro so much faster using an i7 and 32gb ram but forgot to unlicence driver pool and scanner can i reuse the licence or do i need a new one

hi all anybody managed to get this to work seems the non domain hack doesnt work but system seems much more effieient although i may need to do a reinstall as some folders seem to not be working and reshare option crashes

both 2012r2 and 2016 were too much of a steep learning curve for me but when you go back to server 2011 dam its so slow :-( does the domain skip hack also work with 2016 ?

Christopher one more question if I may As my windows 2011 seemed so slow and lagging althought running i5 with 16gb ram ive decided to retry the windows 2012r2 essentials got all my stablebit products running fine got Launchpad on client and can see my shares don't want to join domain used the well documented links you have provided but how can I get server to show under network from clients as need this for printer and mymovies etc thanks again

christopher managed to stoppedwindows health service restarted service and seems to be working now thanks for your help

thanks Christopher pm you a link to log file

decided to remove three 3tb wd red as they has been running for 3 years whilst removing the second one I noticed after remote desktop into sever that I had 152 alerts couldn't read them so after the last drive was removed I rebooted server now alerts are showing as no data running 2.20.670 any ideas please

http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Utilities try the ntfs permissions Reset NTFS Permissions on the Pool Resets all NTFS permissions on the DrivePool pool. This will also empty the recycle bin on the pool if there is one. Use this if DrivePool shows 'Access Denied' errors when maintaining the pool. After the fix, open the Dashboard to 'Server Folders' and set permissions for each folder on the pool. You can do this by selecting a folder and clicking 'View the folder properties'. Note: This sets the pool into a "clean" state, that mimics the permissions of a clean, new disk. Note: After doing this, to ensure proper user access, please use the Dashboard to change the permissions on the shared folders

thanks again your help to the community is truly awesome

drashna one last question can you remove the server from the domain and add back to the workgroup if its left in the domain client pc's pin code log in gets taken away and its a pain for my kids/wife I noticed when you instal its on the workgroup and only afterwards joins the domain

ok all seems to be and running had to point my folders to their location of pool Z such a learning curve not to stop the client joining the domain seems the workarounds on the net allow the connector install and then after reboot the client is part of the domain

thanks drashna superb service as normal internet side of things are now sorted seemed like loads of updates and reboots were needed yes its 2012 r 2 essentials I am using and this connector reshare seems to have done trhe trick Couldn't find that version anywhere on the site will do some testing today and thanks so much again
