I have configured Server 2012 R2 Essentials successfully from my server, and I can reach it via its URL. However, I’m facing issues when trying to connect from the server itself or any device on the same local network. Could you confirm if it’s possible to enable the server to share the URL with other devices on the network while still allowing access from the server?

Ensure all computers are configured with the DNS settings pointing to the essential server. This is necessary for setting up an active directory domain.
