Am I just doing something wrong, or does SBS 2008 not support Win 7 Client
PC's?
I keep getting an error when I try to connect w/ a Win 7 machine. Any help
on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi David:

SBS 2008 does support Win7.

Can you give a bit more detail? What is the error? How are you joining?
Wired or WireLess?

Got it, both machines are running Win & x64 6.1(Build 7600). This is the RTM,
Right? Should I still need this work around? I appreciate the help, I am new
to the server side of MS & trying to get a good test system for my small
business, down the line. I want to make sure I am using the right software &
setups. --
