I installed a new Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server. It was replacing a Windows Home Server 2011 box with a bad hard drive. Everything went very smoothly and I was able to run the connector software on the first Windows 7 Professional workstation with no issues. There are two other Windows 7 Professional boxes on the network and neither will connect after running the connector software. I am posting the beginning of the ClientDeploy.log below.
Oh, I simply uninstalled the old Connector software for WHS 2011 and installed the new connector software. I get the error "Cannot connect this computer to the network. The server is not available." The connector software does find the server though and only crashes after entering the login and password of the user. Any help would be appreciated.

I am assuming the problem is with the trust relationship. Is there any way to get by this?
