Need Help With Accounts And Restricting Access

EDIT:  I think this post should just be deleted.  It turns out my data migration attempt got all messed up somehow and I'm going to have to fix that if possible before determining if that isn't the whole problem with the symptoms I'm seeing.  I apologize if I wasted anyone's time.

OP:

I'm just setting up WHS2011 after using WHSv1 for several years and I'm very confused with how client computers are attaching.  It appears that all the client computers have administrator rights on the Server as they are automatically being connected when they log into their PC.

 

When I installed the connector software on the client PC(s), I was asked for the administrator password but at no time was asked for the Computer User's name and password.  WHSv1 always connected users by their own username and password and WHS2011 isn't even asking for it or seemingly presenting that as an option.

 

Heck, I don't even want to connect to the WHS as an administrator every time I log into my computer.  I want to connect as myself!

 

Why in the world does WHS2011 even have user accounts if everyone is connected as an administrator?  What am I missing or is WHS2011 really that weak?

 

edit:

Okay, I just created a folder with restricted access and a client PC was not able to see it, so I suspect that something happened with permissions when I used the wiki method of moving all the data from WHSv1's DE folders to the WHS2011 DrivePool folders.  I guess I'm going to have to go and create all the folders I need from within the dashboard with desired restrictions and move the appropriate files into them.

 

If anyone knows an easier way I'm "all ears".
