If the other drives are pooled using StableBit DrivePool, you can just immediately move them over without any issues. 

 

Though, I'm guessing you're swapping hard drives? 

 

 

And yeah, both StableBit DrivePool and StableBit Scanner will work just fine. Grab the WHS2011 version of StableBit Scanner, as it features dashboard integration (and yes, does work properly here).

 

however, you may need to activate Scanner, close the dashboard and re-open it to get it working fine.

Ah, yeah, a cleanup isn't a bad idea. :)

 

But deleting things?!?!?!?!

BLASPHEMY!!

 

:) 

 

 

As for the clients, connected via the connector isn't the same as domain joined.   Do the accounts use "DOMAIN\username"? If so, then yes, it's domain joined (or hit "Win+Pause/Break", and it will list "Domain" in the computer name and workgroup settings). 

If it's not, then nothing to worry about.

Machines used @gmail accounts to login and now after running the connector...

the connector HAS joined them to the domain!!!! and they want to login that way but you can still login with anything.. just type email@gmail.com and it will login...

 

PC backups working on 2 devices.. laptop wont join still but not worried for now...

 

i do remember on previous versions you had to domain join on your own and there was a script/reg hack you had to run first... but seems that isnt needed anymore and this connector does both domain join and connector add
