Windows 7 offers a new networking feature called HomeGroup that is designed to offer some features of a traditional domain, but be easier for the average user to configure. Whether you actually support home clients or just your family and friends, it’s a good idea for IT pros to familiarize themselves with this new feature, as you’re likely to run across it in the future. In this TR Dojo episode, I provide a brief tutorial on setting up a Windows 7 homegroup and using it to share files.
