+ | ==== Windows Client Configuration ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click on the “Start” button and go into the “Control Panel” in Windows and select “System and Security” (this was on a Windows 7 machine). | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now click on “System”. | ||

+ | |||
+ | In the “System” page we can see the Workgroup is set to **TWERKGROUP** (1). This must be changed to match the Workgroup name you created in the CIFS settings a moment ago (in Fester’s case this was TESTWORKGROUP). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click on “Change settings” blue text (2) to access the screen where we can change the Workgroup name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will probably be asked for the administrator’s password at this point. | ||

+ | Click on the “Change” button. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Another window will now pop up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Change the text in the Workgroup text box (1) to the one you created in the CIFS settings page (in Fester’s case this was **TESTWORKGROUP**) and click the “OK” button (2). | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Yet another window will pop up showing the Workgroup has now been changed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click the “OK” button. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | A message window will now appear telling you the changes will be implemented when the computer is restarted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click the “OK” button. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | As can be seen from the next screen shot the Workgroup has been changed to “TESTWORKGROUP” (1). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click the “Close” button (2). | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The system will now ask to be restarted. This must be done before going any further. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Close any open windows, save and close any open programs, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now click on the “Restart Now” button. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | That’s the Windows Workgroup configured. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The client computer will now reboot, when it does log back into the FreeNAS GUI. | ||
