Combine two homegroups

Applies To: Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials

If you belong to a homegroup on one network and then you connect to a second network that has an existing homegroup, you will be prompted to join the existing homegroup. Joining an existing homegroup combines the two homegroups into a single homegroup that includes everyone in the two original homegroups. Combining homegroups does not change what users are sharing. It also does not change established access to homegroup resources.
