Win8 upgrade + WSE, My findings.

-

in 24 hour window, updated server whs2011 wse , main desktop win7 win8.  used no-domain registry hack.  here findings:

wse + win7 client registry hack = server features appear work fine.  able perform client backups.

i upgraded desktop win7 win8

wse + win8 client, post-upgrade = not access dashboard (got password error), had access dashboard via rdp.  also,client backups failed.

i reinstalled connector (after checking ensure registry hack still in place).  connector reinstalled forced me join domain.  booted, saw files gone, decided didn't have time transfer, , did system restore.  may try again tomorrow.  if not, roll win7. 

has been able win8 client work without joining domain?

first, answer question, yes, worked me.  again, did a clean install of win8 (i would never, ever consider upgrading an os as i've seen far many problems occur people that).

other points of interest comments:  your files aren't "gone" when client joins domain.  under local user account (not domain account) on client.  can still login local acccount putting <computername>\<username> instead of <domainname>\<username>.  also, if worse comes worse , cannot registry modification work block joining domain during connector software installation, remove client domain after installing connector software.
