I always have connection problems, Microsoft really needs to explain how all of there program should work and interact with other applications that they make, designing a program that your customers don't even understand how to implement things is not a good way to keep customers there going to want to use something that is easy to use and operate

I'm using Server 2012 R2 and can't get it to work, is this not supposed to be able to work with R2?
26 October 2013
I'm using this app to connect to server 2012 essentials in a domain environment. The app has worked flawlessly, I'm able to access share files, view alerts, monitor and initiate backups and manage users.

Could explore more configuration items from Settings

Looks like an AWESOME APP - but I cannot for the life of me get this in sync with my Desktop PC and the Laptop on my Private Network; while my Desktop PC is Dual Boot (Win 7 Ultimate / Metro 8 Pro) and the Laptop is Metro 8 Pro but I see no evidence of conflict here because this is a METRO APP. It does not even come with an Installation or User's Guide or Help File? Or either that it doesn't like Metro 8 Pro at all!

how is it not possible to install Microsoft publisher on my computer?
17 July 2013
For me the issue really had nothing to do with the certificate... It was that I was using a "non-default" admin account. I think you need to use the initial "Administrator" account that you created during setup of the server... any other account throws the cert error erroneously (imho) I hope this helps others. Once I stopped using my other admin account... it worked perfectly.

Getting certificate error. Is there a port on the firewall that I need to open as well? Using Win 8 RT. To me, this should all be automatic. There is no supporting documentation to assist in configuring this app or the server.

I like the ability to connect, but in my case I'd like to be able to play 'albums' and/or playlists with the app but it seems limited to one song at a time. :-(

I am able to get past the cert error. Haven't been able to get any videos to work yet but everything else seems to. Good app.

Great experience of accessing windows server 2012 essentials from win 8 clients. Really like it! For those who encounter cert error, you need to install server machin cert first, type http://<machinename>/connect/default.aspx?get=caroot.cer and install it. There should not be this problem if you access from outside LAN using domain name.

I am getting the same certificated error as everyone else. However the windows phone app works just fine. Please give us the option to ignore the cert error.
7 April 2013
App does not work on windows 8 pro. Do not have windows phone, so cannot validate that. SSL connection to server works great in IE browser... just not this app. I think there is a bug that needs to be fixed. Keep getting error message: Server name or remote security certificate not valid
30 March 2013
It says that the server name or remote security certificate is not valid...so I have no idea how to use this app.
25 March 2013
I use this app to access my office files when I'm on the road. It's a lot faster and easier than logging in through a web browser.
14 March 2013
Coooooooooooooool

"server name or remote security certificate is not valid." Can access via IE on my Surface but not this app. Bummer
14 February 2013
Great time saver and an intuitive, easy way to interact with the Essentials sever on the go.
11 February 2013
Installed on my desktop and Surface with no problems and connects to my server whether at home or away. Great tablet interface but also works well on the desktop computer with mouse and keyboard.
25 January 2013
This app is easy to connect to Server Essentials in same domain environment, but a little complex to connect out of domain environment, need install a certificate.
18 November 2015
this App is not working please respond and help .

ok
