Is there a option for Windows 10 to log onto sme as true domain and not work group? As I believe that it can not or sme will not allow it to understand a "here.now" as a domain being that the dot is not allowed.

Cheers all

AFAIK it was never a good idea to use DOMAIN names (as in trusted domain) with a period in them eg MY.DOMAIN

Try using MYDOMAIN instead & see how you go, it should work.

Using dot in nt domain name is indeed not recommended anymore. However, there's a simple trick to join a win2012r2 on such a domain, and it probably works for win10 too: set a fixed ip, with no dns server, and disable ipv6. Once joined to the domain, you can set it back to dhcp (or whatever config you want)
C'est la fin du monde !!! :lol:

I am successfully using SME as a domain controller for Windows 10 workstations. I am not using a dot in the domain name.
