Can Windows Server 2008 R2 / 2012 join a homegroup?
Solution 1:
From what I’ve been able to find online it looks like the ability to join Homegroups is limited to Windows 7 (and newer) and Windows Home Server (2011).
This site states that “Homegroups aren’t available on Windows Server 2008 R2.”
Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any Microsoft sites that state if homegroups are available in Windows Server 2012.
