NetworkList\Signatures

Question

Hello,

I have 2 servers and one of them exhibited some issues lately.

I found registry entry which exist on the good server but not on the bad one. I am not sure what is this and if can create the issues. OS is Windows 2019 both servers in Domain.

On the good server: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\010103000F0000F0080000000F0000F085E6F7996A78155FB521B29B004C70550B0FA73BE33205916A46BAA23CBCBA35]

"Category"=dword:00000001

On the bad server, NetworkList\Signatures\ and everything underneath is missing.

In this article https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2016/10/28/force-unidentified-networks-to-be-private-or-public-in-windows-7/ seems to be related to Unidentified networks but the long "binary" string do not matches what I have

Thank you.

Hello,

The entries under this registry key are typically related to network configurations and network profiles. Each entry may represent a specific network profile, including Settings for network type (such as public or private), location awareness, and so on.

Missing these registry keys does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the server, especially if there are no other obvious network or system symptoms. These configurations may vary due to specific business requirements, security policies, or specifically configured by your organization's network administrator.

If you do suspect a problem with your network configuration, you can check the status of your network adapter, drivers, and configuration Settings. Ensure that all necessary network services and protocols are properly installed and configured.
