I have spent today setting up a network in our new office (6 computers in total). I have installed Windows Server 2016 Essentials on our Server box, and Windows 10 Pro on the 6 Client PC's.
I have gone to http://SERVERNAME/Connect and started the Windows Server Essentials Connector, and it gets as far as asking for username and password, and when I put those in, click 'Next', it seems to hang for a while (presumably trying to connect to the server), and then comes up with the following error:
Cannot connect this computer to the network
The server is not available. Try connecting this computer again.
However, from the same machine (have even tried it at the same time), I can RDP to the server, and can mount the shared drives using the 'Map a network drive' option), so there can't be a connection issue with the server.
I have also tried switching off the Windows firewall on both ends, and that's not resolved it.
I was jut wondering if anyone here could give any advice on what I could try next as I'm close to tearing my hair out.
