Dashboard showing device as a server

After joining a new laptop to the domain, I used the Windows Server Connector to connect to my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. I logged into the dashboard and navigated to device tab - the new laptop is showing as a server. I am not sure what went wrong.

Is there a way to correct this other than uninstalling the connector and trying again?

Any answer as to how the device was added as a server versus PC would be appreciated so I don't uninstall and reinstall just to have it show as server AGAIN.

Thanks.

    What operating system is it? Might also try remove and add it again.
