Why I can't turn on network discovery

Question

Hi

I had to reinstall Windows Server 2019 to one server. Now I can't turn on network discovery in that server. Although I've logged in as an administrator and save the chances. When I'm looking again the situation, the network discovery is turned off.

Answer 1

Check these services are started DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery UPnP Device Host and also check the firewalls allow Network Discovery for the network profile you're using (in my example below using domain).

Thanks again Patrick

I have to leave now, but I'll be back on monday.

Answer 3

Thank you all

Now I had little time to check the situation. The UPnP Device Host was not running but I chaged it to run. It seems that the reason is that my network connection is Public not Private. How do I change to the Private network?
