    i'm on 2016 now, thought 2019 was the only option as it offered an 'Essentials' version, but i see that WSEE can be installed on 2019, 2022 & 2025

    the 'essentials' version allowed enough users w/o requiring CAL licenses - is 2022 the same?

    not sure WSEE is totally working on 2019
    new 2019 install - WSEE installed, dashboard opens properly
    use ProfWiz to migrate laptop computer & user acct to 2019 (so i keep everything that is in the user profile)
    all good, except i don't see the added computer in WSEE dashboard, it is under domain users & computers??

    on 2016 ProfWiz added same laptop to WSEE dashboard

    are you helping me or just pointing out the extra 's'??

    strange...
    on 2016 i see all my computers in 'active directory users & computers' and WSEE
    there are 2 entries as i was playing with 2019 installs that don't show up in WSEE
