 +__Do not turn on the CIFS share service yet__. We first need to check if the Workgroup on the Windows client is set correctly.
 +==== 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).
 +
 +{{:fester:285f02e0814b9fc4ae4714f33f0b8c97.png}}
 +
 +Now click on “System”.
 +
 +{{:fester:ed861c178031eea4b90cdaac607cb5fd.png}}
 +
 +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.
 +
 +{{:fester:07d89cce9015759fdc43adf1350bcbc8.png}}
 +
 +A smaller window will now pop up.
 +
 +Click on the “Change” button.
 +
 +{{:fester:ffe170aa4d994b093a3a19feb04f52a0.png}}
 +
 +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).
 +
 +{{:fester:15d826e4f7390cf28c497a89ad06ffde.png}}
 +
 +Yet another window will pop up showing the Workgroup has now been changed.
 +
 +Click the “OK” button.
 +
 +{{:fester:351ba8f0155e35a283ef240ea8495d77.png}}
 +
 +A message window will now appear telling you the changes will be implemented when the computer is restarted.
 +
 +Click the “OK” button.
 +
 +{{:fester:29e80c4aaacfffcb06eb183c3689f9ac.png}}
 +
 +As can be seen from the next screen shot the Workgroup has been changed to “TESTWORKGROUP” (1).
 +
 +Click the “Close” button (2).
 +
 +{{:fester:7977462292e4639533049286a0bcc4e7.png}}
 +
 +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.
 +
 +{{:fester:a2a1f060b969997f6143576c85ae83bd.png}}
 +
 +That’s the Windows Workgroup configured.
 +
 +The client computer will now reboot, when it does log back into the FreeNAS GUI.
