AskWoody LoungerIn an Ethernet connection in use, if I delete the Category item in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionNetworkListProfiles key and I restart the system, when the user will attempt to connect to this Ethernet network, Windows will display the choice window of the network location type?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerHow do I reset the parameters, related to the category of a network in use, saved by the NLA service so that Windows displays again the choice window of the network category when the user will have to reconnect to this network?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerIf it’s the choice between public/private then, again, IMO you’ll need a function call to ADVAPI or perhaps use PowerShell (for example, see How to force a network type in Windows using PowerShell).
Hope this helps but, sorry, I personally can’t help further.
Using the Set-NetConnectionProfile, is also possible to remove the network category in use so that, when the user reconnects to this network, Windows again to display the choice of network category window?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerA curiosity: By using the netsh command or by editing the Windows registry, how do I cause to Windows the request of the choice of the network category when the user reconnects to the current Ethernet or Wireless network?

AskWoody LoungerSo, what should I do to cause to Windows the request of the choice of the network profile when the user reconnects to a current Ethernet or Wireless network?

AskWoody LoungerHave I wasted my time typing out my Post #8 ?
No because if you knew tell me the item to change to ensure that Windows asks again the user the type of network profile when he reconnects to the network, I would be very interested.
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerI use netsh (although I’ve never removed a wired profile, only wireless ones… and strongly suggest you export them first before deleting them).
Have a look at Delete a network connection in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Hope this helps…
With the netsh command, it is possible to reset only the parameter that indicates the type of network profile of an Ethernet or Wireless in use so that, at the next connection, Windows asks the user again which type of network profile he would like?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerI’m sorry but if I wanted to remove all the parameters of the current network profile on an Ethernet or wireless connection so that Windows will create a new network profile when I reboot the system, how should I do?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerYou would need to do some registry hacking, but I’m not sure what bits to hack.
Why do you want to do this?cheers, Paul
What is the procedure to do this?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerNovember 16, 2016 at 5:09 am in reply to: NAS is not displayed among the networked computers in the Network #1584248Then it’s likely your network stack is corrupt. Try this fix.
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread//173508-no-network-connectivity-after-Win-10-updates?p=1036783&viewfull=1#post1036783You could run wireshark to see if the NAS broadcast is reaching that computer. Disconnect all other machines before capturing the network data otherwise yo will be flooded with data.
https://www.wireshark.orgA re-build is the last alternative.
cheers, Paul
I tried these commands
Code:netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv4 reset netsh int ipv6 reset
and I restarted the computer but the problem still there.
Now, what do I do?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerNovember 15, 2016 at 11:13 am in reply to: NAS is not displayed among the networked computers in the Network #1584184The other computers see the NAS so it seems likely that you have a Windows firewall issue. Turn off the firewall temporarily to troubleshoot the issue.
cheers, Paul
I have not installed any firewall/anti-virus on my computer and Windows firewall is off.
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerNovember 14, 2016 at 9:48 am in reply to: NAS is not displayed among the networked computers in the Network #1584055The simple fix for me has been to reboot all computers involved and then they all seem to find one another again. Not sure if it will work in your situation but it works for me.
I tried to restart the computer, but it does not yet see the NAS. Why?
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerYes, but you need an XML file for each product.
Product Key string.cheers, Paul
If I create an autounattend.xml file in the root directory of the media and insert this block
Code:Never
I avoid displaying the input window of the product keys during the first phase of installation and therefore, the window, which lists the editions included in the install.wim file, is displayed immediately. Right?
Thanks
