Good morning,
I have installed a HP Server with Windows 2019 Essentials, every Friday server shutdown Itself for a License error. The server is installed as Workgroup server ed we haven't other server in the lan. There is 5 Windows 10 client connected to the server in the same Workgroup. WIndows 2019 Essentials can't be configured as workgroup server?
Thank you
Simone Secchiati

Hello @Simone Secchiati
As a Windows Server Essentials, domain environment is recommended, it provides you more functions, such as domain credentials, Group Policy, to manage your clients and environment.

Windows WSE as workgroup
Does the 2019 Essentials must have to be a domain controller?
Best Regards
Karlie
