Okay, that's good to know. &nbsp;How do I change the group policy to enable network discovery so that I can see the server from other computers on the network?<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I have a windows server 2008 R2 domain server set up. &nbsp;I can't make network discovery stay on. &nbsp;I go the advanced sharing on the adapter and click Turn on network discovery, hit apply and the window closes. &nbsp;However, it doesn't stay on! &nbsp;If I look at it again, it still shows network discovery as turned off, that is the radio button for that has a dot in it. &nbsp;And I can't see the server in My network places. &nbsp;Can you help me? &nbsp;I can ping the IP of the server so it's there and I can find it in active directory.

Hi All,

I have a windows server 2008 R2 domain server set up.  I can't make network discovery stay on.  I go the advanced sharing on the adapter and click Turn on network discovery, hit apply and the window closes.  However, it doesn't stay on!  If I look at it again, it still shows network discovery as turned off, that is the radio button for that has a dot in it.  And I can't see the server in My network places.  Can you help me?  I can ping the IP of the server so it's there and I can find it in active directory.

Network discovery won't stay turned on for Domain server, how do I fix that
