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)

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