I am out of ideas here. Server is Windows 2012 Essentials, very vanilla install. DNS and DHCP, single 192.168.0.x subnet. Clients can ping and resolve domainname.local fine. I have other computers running the Connector fine. I run the Connector Install, asks for credentials and then it fails "Server is not available ..."
Attached is my ClientDeploy.log
