Windows 7 RC joining SBS 2008 domain

I just loaded Windows 7 RC onto a test workstation and was thinking about
joining it to my SBS 2008 domain. Just wondoering if any others out there
have done so and what if any known issues. thanks.

Works fine :-).

At present, you may need to join manually rather than with \connect.

This changes of course with the release of Win7, and updates to SBS to
recognize that.

Great. thanks Les. Doing some googling I did see that the /connect was about
the only issue I can find.

Actually, you can do it with connect but you either have to follow the instructions in the SBS blog
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive...ram=1250693338

or wait for UR3 for SBS 2008, probably due out this month.
