Windows Server 2019 warns No Internet Access after AD, DNS and DHCP setup

Hi all.   I have a Windows Server 2019 VM (HyperV) where I setup my first DC. I also setup DNS and DHCP on the server. After deploying these, the yellow warning icon appeared on the network icon in...

Luigi_Iottitry restarting the Network Location Awareness service and allow it to restart the Network List service automatically. If it solves the warning then it's because the Network Location Awareness service is starting before DNS. You can fix this by creating a dependency using the following command from an elevated command prompt:

 

sc config nlasvc depend=DNS

    Jason_Pitts Yes, that command solved my problems, but AFAIK there is a problem using it like that: 

    sc config nlasvc depend= DNS

    It overwrites all dependencies the service currently has. So if you want to add and not overwrite the service's dependencies list, a solution would be first to get the dependencies list, runnig this command:

    sc qc nlasvc

    That outputs this:

    SERVICE_NAME: nlasvc
        TYPE               : 20  WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
        START_TYPE         : 2   AUTO_START
        ERROR_CONTROL      : 1   NORMAL
        BINARY_PATH_NAME   : C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -p
        LOAD_ORDER_GROUP   :
        TAG                : 0
        DISPLAY_NAME       : Network Location Awareness
        DEPENDENCIES       : NSI
                           : RpcSs
                           : TcpIp
                           : Dhcp
                           : Eventlog
        SERVICE_START_NAME : NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService

    Secondly run this command to add DNS:

    sc config nlasvc depend= NSI/RpcSs/TcpIp/Dhcp/Eventlog/DNS

    Please, let me know if I am wrong.

      m32po you are correct, that would be the right way to ensure that nothing was removed inadvertently.

       

      In the case of the NLA service, it has no dependencies by default, so nothing to worry about here.

        What about "Network List Service" as a dependency?

    1. Press Windows + R keys.

    2. Type regedit, click OK.

    3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet.

    4. Make sure following values exist in right pane of Internet:

    "ActiveDnsProbeContent"="8.8.4.4"

    "ActiveDnsProbeContentV6"="2001:4860:4860::8844"

    "ActiveDnsProbeHost"="dns.google"

    "ActiveDnsProbeHostV6"="dns.google"

    "ActiveWebProbeHostV6"="www.msftconnecttest.com"

    "EnableActiveProbing"="1"

    5. Restart Network Location Awareness service

    On domain controllers using 127.0.0.1 as their primary DNS, run the following:

    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\POLICIES\MICROSOFT\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator" /v UseGlobalDNS /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\POLICIES\MICROSOFT\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator" /v NoActiveProbe /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
