Prerequisites for connecting a computer to the server
The following requirements must be met before you connect a computer to the network:
Note
In an on-premises client deployment for Windows Server Essentials or Windows Server Essentials, you can connect computers to the server without adding them to the Windows Server Essentials domain. This method is not available for all supported client operating systems, and features such as Group Policy and virtual private networks (VPNs), which require that a computer be connected to the domain, are not available. For requirements and instructions, see Connect computers to a Windows Server Essentials server without joining the domain.

Changes the server makes to a client computer
When you connect a computer to the server, the Windows Server Essentials software makes a number of changes to the computer so the computer and the server can work together.
The software does the following:
For information about connecting your computer to the server, see Connect computers to the server.
Network user name and password information
You can obtain your network user name and password information from the person who manages your server. You can use these credentials to connect your computer to the server and access information from the server.
Network user name and password information
You can obtain your network user name and password information from the person who manages your server. You can use these credentials to connect your computer to the server and access information from the server.
If you are the server administrator, you can create the network credentials by adding a user account from the Users tab of the Dashboard. For more information about user accounts, see Manage user accounts using the Dashboard.
Server administrator's account
You must be able to provide a network administrator account name and password to install the Connector software. A network administrator account enables the user to manage the local area network for your organization and helps manage and maintain network devices such as switches and routers.
The tasks that can be performed by using a network administrator account can include:
Remove a computer from a Windows domain
To remove a computer from its domain, you will be prompted for the user name and password of the domain account.

Connect computers to a Windows Server Essentials server without joining the domain
This topic describes how to add a Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer to a Windows Server Essentials network without joining the computer to the Windows Server Essentials domain in an on-premises client deployment. This connection method is supported in Windows Server Essentials and Windows Server Essentials.
This is an alternative to the usual method, which requires joining the computer to the Windows Server Essentials domain. With that method, if the computer is in another domain, it must be removed from that domain before it can be added to the Windows Server Essentials domain.
Feature limits
Some features are limited when a client computer is not added to the Windows Server Essentials domain:
Prerequisites
Connect to a Windows Server Essentials network
After you verify that all prerequisites have been met, connect the computer to the Windows Server Essentials network.

Join a second server to the networkTo join a second server to the network
After you join the second server to a server that is running Windows Server Essentials, the following features are provided to the connected server:
Install the Connector software
The Connector software in Windows Server Essentials is installed when you connect your computer to the server by using the Connect a Computer to the Server Wizard. You can launch this wizard by typing http://<ServerName>/connect in the address bar of your web browser (where <ServerName> is the name of your server).
Note
If your computer is at a remote location, to run the Connect a Computer to the Server Wizard, type http://<domainname>/connect in the address bar of your web browser (where <domain> is the domain name of your organization). You can get your domain name information from your network administrator.
The Connector software does the following:
For step-by-step instructions about connecting your computer to the Windows Server Essentials server, see Connect computers to the server.
Move computer data and settings manually
Windows Server Essentials and Windows Server Essentials support user profile migration only for client computers that are running the Windows 7 operating system. When you connect a Windows 7-based computer to the server, the Connect Computer to the Server Wizard can automatically migrate the user profile.
The user profile cannot be transferred automatically when connecting a Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer to the server. However, on a Windows 8 computer, you can use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer data and settings from the original local user to the domain-joined computer. To do that, you must be an Administrator on both the Windows 8 source computer and the Windows 8 destination computer. For information about using Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and settings, see article 2735227 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Transfer multiple user profiles during computer deployment
Before you connect a computer running the Windows 7 or Windows 7 SP1 operating system to the Windows Server Essentials server, in order to transfer multiple local user profiles you must first create the corresponding network user accounts on the server. For more information about creating network user accounts, see Add a user account.
User profile migration is only supported on a computer running Windows 7 (for Windows Server Essentials) or Windows 7 SP1 (for Windows Server Essentials). When you connect a computer to the Windows Server Essentials server using the Connect Your Computer to the Server Wizard, you are provided an option to move the user data and settings of old user local accounts into the new network user accounts. To do so, on the Move existing user data and settings page of the wizard, map the network user accounts to the local user accounts that exist on the computer to transfer multiple user profiles that are located on the client computer.
Uninstall the Connector software
You can uninstall the Connector software from a computer by using the Control Panel. You will usually do this if there is a problem with the Connector software or if you need to install a newer version of the Connector software. You must be logged on to the computer as an administrator to complete this procedure.
Important
If you upgrade the operating system on a client computer, the Connector software is uninstalled automatically. You must reinstall the Connector software after the upgrade is complete. The preferred method is to uninstall the Connector software before you upgrade the operating system. Uninstalling the Connector software after the upgrade is complete is still acceptable; however, it might result in an inconsistent state for the client computer with the server until the Connector software is uninstalled and reinstalled.
To uninstall Connector software from a computer
Note
Disconnect your computer from or reconnect your computer to the server
To disconnect a computer from the server, you must complete the following steps:
How backup works with sleep and hibernate modes
If you select the Wake This Computer for Backup option when you connect a computer to the server, the computer will automatically wake up from sleep or hibernate mode every day as specified in the Backup schedule so that it can be backed up. After the backup is finished, the computer will return to sleep or hibernate mode, based on its power management settings. If you do not select this option, the server will not back up a computer if the computer is sleeping or hibernating. For more information, see Manage Client Backup.
