Combine two homegroups

Applies To: Windows Home Server 2011

If you belong to a homegroup on one network and then you connect to a second network that has an existing homegroup, you'll be prompted to join the existing one. This combines the two homegroups into one big homegroup that includes everyone in the two original homegroups. Combining homegroups won't change anyone's access to homegroup resources or what they're already sharing.

To combine two homegroups
