Asked By David D.

13-Nov-09 08:25 AM

Am I just doing something wrong, or does SBS 2008 not support Win 7 Client
PC's?
I keep getting an error when I try to connect w/ a Win 7 machine. Any help
on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi David:

SBS 2008 does support Win7.

Can you give a bit more detail?  What is the error?  How are you joining?
Wired or WireLess?
