I recently upgraded from windows 7 ultimate to windows 8 pro (fun was had by no-one) but on completion, the connector was throwing a "monitoring error" for the upgraded computer. Everything else worked fine (to my surprise). Before the upgrade, my computer was not joined to a domain using the "skip domain join" trick widly published. I don't think the hack stuck over the upgrade. I decided to uninstall and re-install the connector to attemp to fix the monitoring error issue. Server worked fine, all folders available, and good backups at this point. After the connector install, a major restart occured and I was forced to log into a domain. Firefox and other programs had lost all bookmarks and saved info. Connector did not seem to work right and Norton was dead. A lucky system restore later, I was back where I started. My question is how can I get rid of the monitoring error and keep function on my computer? I plan to uninstall the connector, re-install the "skip domain join" hack, create a system restore point, then re-install the connector. A reboot later I should be OK to go. Will this fix the monitoring error? Any flaws in my therory? Any better ideas to try? My computer seems to work fine now except the annoying monitoring error pop-up. Any help would be appreciated.
