@Eddy: As far as I know, it isn't necessary to have all the machines in a home group, and I don't think it is necessary to have file/folder sharing enabled.
My machines are all Win7 64bit. I have run many batch lists via Queue Manager 12 and many animations as well. It works fine. Likewise for Q11, Q10, etc.
I have no machines with Win10 (or Win11, which is already out in the wild).
Basically, install Poser on the workstation, and install only Queue Manager on the remotes (aka "render slaves"). Use installers with the same build number (i.e., Poser and Queue build numbers should be the same). The first time that you run Queue, your firewall will prompt you for firewall permissions for Queue and FFRender64. Be sure to give them both firewall permission. You'll have to do this for each remote (render slave machine).
See this thread on P11 Q networking.
Win 7 is vastly different from Win 10. Networking did work up until I believe it was Windows 10 Build 1609.. after that it was, and still is, completely broken.
