I recently upgraded a domain to a 2012 R2 domain. I enabled the Essentials Role so I could utilize the Remote Web WorkPlace feature. This was a migration from SBS 2003 to stand along 2012 R2 so my default OUs are the standard SBS OUs under the MYBusiness. <br />
<br />
All my users under SBSUsers showup in the 2012 R2 Essentials dashboard but none of my computers do. They are located in the SBSComputers OU. <br />
<br />
How do I get these to showup in the dashboard? I know for new computers I can run <a href="http://server/connect" rel="ugc">http://server/connect</a>&nbsp;but what about current active domain computers?
