    Where do I add a group in Win server 2012 essentials?  I would like to have a user group that does include folder redirection and one that does not.

    Also, better DHPC by server 2012 essentials or my firewall (untangle)?  I like getting the user reports from untangle, but I know there is a way to integrate that with AD, I just don't know how. I spose I would have to look into the untangle forums for that, but I am not sure that 2012 essentials AD is compatible.  Any one know?

    Hi Aaron:

    Sorry to say I don't have the Console memorized, but assuming it is not on the console, please click Start - Admin Tools - Active Directory Users and Computers.  In that console, right click on the list of objects and then new - group.

    on the UnTangle question...

    I get reports from my UT box regardless of the fact it is not in AD. Al I needed do was tell it 'email reports to this address'.

    For UT to automatically link reported usage back to AD accounts you need both the 'Directory Connector' and, I believe, the login script to then associate the traffic to AD accounts.

    This question should however be moved to the WS12E forum.
