need workgroup computers to access homegroup shared folders
Odd setup at a small office. There are currently 4 computers (win 7 pro) at an office that are in a workgroup. The workgroup is called workgroup. They had 4 new computers (win 7 pro) delivered today that are in a homegroup called "Construction" Now, on the 1 of the new computers is a shared folder (shared to everyone, read/write) that the other 3 new computers can access because they are in a homegroup with each other. How can I have the CURRENT 4 computers in the workgroup "workgroup" also be able to see the shared folder and access it?

This solution is only available to members.

I'm assuming that you have an Administrator account on each that could be used to access each system via the admin share and use the Administrator's credentials.
For example from one system you could use copy C:\users\user_name\Documen ts to \\system_name\c$\users\use r_name\Doc uments
If they are new systems and you're moving the entire directory structure you can use robocopy with the mirror option but that will also remove anything on the target that doesn't exist on the source. There are other switches though that won't.
