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...- wyliec2
