    Windows Server 2022 keeps disconnecting client PCs

    New Windows Server 2022 installed as a Workgroup without a Domain Controller. 4 client PCs connect to shared folders on the server. The PC clients keep getting mapped shares disconnected - red X in File Explorer. This is not a network issue - the PCs are able to connect to the Windows Server...

    Removed Domain Controller

    I have migrated from Windows Server 2012 Essentials which required the server to be a domain controller to Windows Server 2022 Standard. I removed the old server from operation and no longer have or want a domain controller. I just need to establish basic shared folder access from client PCs...

    Disk Space Allocation Question

    Fundamental question on best practice to allocate space for multiple shares (RAID6 array with 72 TB usable): 1) Initialize as one large volume and set up separate folder shares on this large volume? 2) Chop the 72 TB into smaller volumes - possibly aligning shares with volumes. I initially...

    I am just about finished with a new Windows Server 2022 Standard build using an ASUS P12R-E/10G-2T motherboard. It has a provision to add a TPM module, however, it works fine without it aside from an Event Log error at every startup. Wondering what the thoughts are regarding adding the TPM...
