I'm a novice at networking but have been getting by using homegroups for a specific office setup.
We have 8 PC's on the network, but only 3 of them on a homegroup that enables us to share files with only those 3 machines. (full read write access)
Now that homegroups are retired, the machines still have shared access only with each other and are still isoated from the other machines, without issue (not sure how). I have a new employee that needs shared access to these existing 3 machines and still maintain privacy from the others on the network.
I can't seem to figure out how to "Give access to Specific People" to share the files of the other machines.
when I get the add user screen, I can't figure out the syntax or method to add a user from the new machine.
I get a message that says "windows was unable to find user "station-mobile\linda"" (where station-mobile is the computer name and linda is the user)
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong, does it see the user over the network?
