You are a systems administrator of a small branch office. Computers in the office are joined to a Windows 10 HomeGroup.
The HomeGroup includes one shared printer and several shared folders.
You join a new computer to the HomeGroup and try to
access the HomeGroup shared folders. You discover that the shared folders are unavailable, and you receive an error message that indicates the password is incorrect.
You need to reconfigure the new computer in order to access the HomeGroup resources.
Wha
t should you do?
A. Adjust the time settings on the new computer to match the time settings of the HomeGroup computers.
B. Change the Enterprise password and re-enter it on the computers of all members of the HomeGroup.
C. Change the default sharing confi
guration for the shared folders on the HomeGroup computers.
D. Reset your account password to match the HomeGroup password.
Explanation:
Symptoms
When joining a system to a HomeGroup, you may receive the following error message -The password is
incorrect-, even though you have typed the password correctly.
Cause
This can be caused by a difference in the Date and Time settings on the computer trying to join the HomeGroup, and not an invalid password. If the date/time of the computer joining a Hom
eGroup is greater than 24 hours apart from the date/time of the system that owns the HomeGroup, this will cause the error.
Resolution
Adjust the date/time settings on the system joining the HomeGroup, to match the system that owns the HomeGroup, and then
try to join again.
