Re: Is it possible to make a windows SBS 2003 a member of a workgroup?

I don't think that you can join SBS to a workgroup. You can access the
shares on the server by going to run and typing \\192.168.0.1 (substitute
for your servers IP address).

Surely if all the other machines are running XP Pro though it will make far
more sense to have them join a domain?

Hi,

All my pc's in my office run as a workgroup, Is it possible to make a
windows SBS server to be a member of a workgroup too?
I f so How?

If not how do I make open shares for the workgroup machines to access.

All the other machines are running windows XP Pro.

thanks Dominic
