Hi All – I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I picked up a new laptop and thought I would install the connector to 2012 essentials but skip the domain join – this all went without any problems.
I decided to do a clean windows 8 pro install on the laptop as it came with way too much crapware installed and decided then to install the connector and go ahead and join the domain. I removed the previous computer for the laptop from 2012 added a new user account and password and proceeded to start the install of the connector on the laptop.
The process seems to go fine, goes through the setup creates the new user account and then during the setup when you get to the selection of “setup just for me or others on the account” , the second you hit next I get an error saying the install program has had a problem and the only option you have is to close it.
On rebooting the laptop I can login to the domain user account it all seems fine, I can even see the shares that were setup – But it is shown as offline on the server, and the Launchpad is not installed at all.
I have gone through the complete process 3 times now all the same result – oh I have two other windows 8 pro clients all working just fine, not problem in the setup.
So any help would be much appreciated as I really need to get this new client backing up properly.
