asked on Do i need 'Client Connector' to join windows 10 PCs to SBS 2012 R2?
Hello,
I've had quite a bit of experience with 2008 R2, and joining clients to the domain is a snap, but I have to build a 2012 R2 server, with Windows 10 Clients... and I've been reading a lot about this "Client Connector" which sounds like a nightmare. So, my question is...
Do I even need it.. or can I join the clients as previously done so... what are the pros and cons of Client Connector ?!

Without CC, NO.
If you want to have clients workstation backup on the server then you must have CC
But if this is only reason and we all know issues with CC, then maybe it's better to do some workstation FULL backup one a while and incremental backup once a week using for example AOMEI BACKUPER and set their Desktops and My Documents folders be redirected to server.
In case of disaster you can recover backup or if there is no much personal software on workstation, just replace workstation and login to network. All user documents and desktop will be synchronized back from Redirected Policy

Thanks TC
You are very welcome.
I've read many horror stories about this Client Connector installation, having to unjoin/rejoin or breaking the trust etc.. so, I'm keen to understand what it is that motivates so many to even bother with it at all.
FYI, I have 2012 R2 Standard
