How do I keep Windows from incorrectly identifying my local network as a new network? Perhaps it would help if I knew what steps NLA follows to generate a unique identifier for a network? I have not been able find a resource that describes exactly how NLA generates a unique identifier for a network and thus why it might detect that it has discovered a new network. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles.Īll 14 profiles are when the computer was actually connected to the same network described above. I see these multiple profiles when reviewing the profiles here in the Registry: Many of the computers show that Windows has detected a new Unidentified Networks many times, i.e. I believe the issue is that the Windows Network Location Awareness (NLA) service is detecting a new network which causes a new Network Profile to be created which then defaults to Public (even though above I have configured the Local Group Policy to default to Private). On each Windows PC I have modified the Local Group Policy Computer Configuration->Security Settings->Network List Manager Policies: PCs always get the same IP address on bootupĮven though I have configured all Windows machines active network profiles = Private, they frequently (every couple of weeks or so) revert back to Public, which prevents file sharing etc.
I have configured the router with DHCP reservations for each Windows PC, i.e.The Asus router provides DHCP to Windows machines.The Asus router connects to Cable modem.The switch is connected to an Asus RTN-66U home router.They are all connected to a 48 port Avaya L2 managed switch, all on the same 10.10.10.x subnet.All Windows PC are connected via wired Ethernet (though they may have a Wifi NIC).I do not see any proposed solutions that work. does not work.įrom my searching this is a common problem for many users. Quick troubleshooting determines that the issue is due to the infamous "Unidentified Network detected" which then applies the "Public" network profile instead of "Private" network profile, thus Homegroup/file sharing, etc.
Intermittently but quite frequently users complain that they can no longer access shared folders with other co-workers. I am managing a small business network with a number of Windows 10 and 7 PCs.
