0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 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.

0 TeleFragger Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Agreed... I am however going through a MASSIVE CLEANUP and don't want to just move drives in... I am deleting A TON OF STUFF!!!! so I do however have my gaming rig, a hp touchsmart (kids homework pc) both connected via the connector... my laptop wont go.. got my surface, wifes laptop to get in then figure out what is up with my laptop...

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 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.

0 TeleFragger Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well, that behavior is normal. you can always log into local accounts, even if the system is domain joined. And you can leave the domain without any issues, as well (well... doing so deletes domain accounts but leaves local accounts untouched).
