    Trying to connect Windows 7 home to SBS 2008

    I am trying to connect my laptop to our SBS but I am getting the following error that states:

    "Verify computer requirements- Unsuccessful. This computer does not meet the requirements necessary to connect to the network.
    Before you can continue, you must resolve the following issues: Supported Operating System Configuration Not Found To join your computer to the Windows Small Business Server network using the Connect Computer program, you must be running the Windows XP operating system SP2 or later, or the Windows Vista operating system."

    There are other users on the server who are able to connect with their Windows 7 computer? Any ideas?

    You should know that Windows 7 Home Pre. will not be able to join a domain. You will need to either upgrade to Professional or Ultimate version of the OS, that you can do with the Windows Anytime Upgrade. All you have to do is buy the upgrade and enter a nw license key: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/w...nytime-upgrade

    Also note that the SBS 2008 connect wizard was updated to handle Windows 7 clients in SBS 2008 Update Rollup 3 and later. The Update Rollup 4 is currently the latest update for SBS 2008. Follow the description of Windows Small Business Server 2008 Update Rollup 4 from the below link:
