I am trying to find out what admx has Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service configuration for Group Policy. According to CIS 5.36 (L1) Ensure 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (WMPNetworkSvc)' is set to 'Disabled' or 'Not Installed', this needs to be configured but I don't have this in Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services\Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service in my GPME.
