I currently have a Dell PowerEdge 840 server running Server 2008 R2. It is NOT in a domain. All computers and this server are a member of "Workgroup".
I'm now upgrading to a new Dell T110 Server. I purchased Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials to avoid having to pay licensing for every 5 users. (Small Animal Clinic with 20 workstations). The only purpose for this server is to host the clinic's billing/scheduling database (Avimark).
I don't want to mess around with creating a Domain and/or Domain Controller. This business is too small for something like this. So what is the best way to configure this server so that it is NOT on a domain, and the system does not prompt me with the configuration wizard asking me to create a domain? I want it to be a member of "Workgroup" like the other computers in the office so I can just swap out the new for the old server.
I'm just hoping someone has a simple process that I can follow. Thanks!
