windows server 2016 Need Windows Server Help

Mat!02 · November 17, 2018

Hi sorry to bother anyone but i have a server with Windows Server 2016 Essentials Installed on it, my main goal to use the server for is Active Directory to join all my computers together in the home.

But except for the server the other computers are small 2 in 1's and don't have lan ports, I currently can't/don't know how to connect them over wifi.

The sever is connected by both LAN & Wifi.

Does anyone know how to do this i would appreciate it so much!

Plus the routers in the home also don't support WPA-2 Enterpirse Or 802.11n there simply home grade routers. But i wouldn't think this would affect it.

The other laptops are running Windows 10 Enterprise.

If your domain controller is on the same subnet as the client PCs which must be running an OS that supports domain membership (i.e. 'pro' not 'home') it should work regardless.

Your router/firewall can still perform DHCP roles just be sure the clients are getting a DNS IP that matches your domain controller. You can also disable the router DHCP function and set up a simple /24 scope in DHCP services on your domain controller.
