I'm attempting to connect my laptop to our Small Business Server and am
getting this error message- 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. I know that the other users on the server are able to
connect with Win7. Can you please tell me where to go from here?

Windows 7 Home Premium cannot join a domain. You need to upgrade to
Professional or Ultimate, which you can do with Windows Anytime Upgrade.
It's pretty much as simple as purchasing the upgrade and entering a new
license key.

Also, the SBS 2008 connect wizard was updated to handle Windows 7 clients in
SBS 2008 Update Rollup 3 and later. Update Rollup 4 is currently the latest
update rollup for SBS 2008 releasing in April 2010.

If you do not have this installed yet, you will want to if you wish to use
the wizard to join Windows 7 (domain-joinable) clients to the domain.

Purchase an upgrade Anytime for Win7 Home to Pro
It will take about 20mins the PC will reboot
and then you can join it to a domain
