Note: the following is for Windows Server 2012 Essentials, not Essentials R2

Upon installing the Windows 10 upgrade on one of my PC's, I noticed the following:

Launchpad logon worked, shared folders were accessible, but the launchpad icon at the bottom right taskbar was gray, no alerts available.

Looking at Dashboard on another PC, the computer was still reported as Windows 8.1 with status not available and backup would not start.

Attempted to reload the connector and was advised to restart the updated PC to finish pending installations before connector installation would start.  Upon restart, everything worked except for Dashboard.  In fact, Dashboard no longer responds on non-upgraded (8.1) PC's either, have to go to the server itself where it does work...something going on there which I guess might be related to the upgrade.

Would like to get Dashboard functionality back on all PC...suggestions?

Whilst the table here lists no known issues, it may be that managing the server through the dashboard remoteapp was not tested.

I haven't upgraded my lab pcs yet so I cant say if what you see is expected or not.

I've seen that chart...the interesting thing is not so much at Dashboard doesn't work on the Win10 PC, but that something happened so that Dashboard no longer works on non-upgraded machines...

Most of the time I have had to reinstall the connector.  Uninstall and reinstall

On one of my non-win10 machines (8.1 pro), I uninstalled the connector and reinstalled.  Launchpad works, Dashboard does not.

Kind of bummed about this.

Suggestions for when Dashboard stops working?

Windows Server 2012 Essentials client connector install on Windows 10 fails with the following message in the ClientDeploy log

[3720] 150801.005240.2032: ClientSetup: !!!FATAL!!! Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Common.ClientUtilities.ClientCommon.IsOSMCEXP()'.

The connector seems to be working well enough on the client side...Win 10 machine can access the server and is being backed up...something is preventing any of my machines from using the Dashboard, however.
