For those of you running Windows Small Business Server 2008, the connect computer does block Windows 7.  If you are wanting to add Windows 7 to your domain for *testing purposes* then all you need to do is follow these steps.

On this next screen click change and then enter your domain name and hit ok.   You should be prompted for a username and password – enter your domain admin’s credentials and then restart your computer.  You won’t get the migration support but your Windows 7 machine will now be a member of your SBS domain.
