Server 2025 Core ADDS DC, Network Profile Showing as "Public" and not as "DomainAuthenticated"
Well, they made restarting the service broken even in 2022. Disabling/re-enabling of the NICs - not doable remotely, at least I do not trust any scripting here because once things fail (nothing unusual with MS) you need a BMC console to fix things - or call someone on site to go babysit the affected machines. For physical machines, much easier and less error prone to cycle the relevant managed switch ports.
As for DCs - I never understood why those are not always forced to domain profile. I mean, what on earth is the logic doing here really? 🤯
Sigh.
No logic whatsoever. That being said, there's no reason to have a physical DC in this day and age (we have none) so we're not concerned about the script concern. It's been doing the job for months now, and will keep doing so forever I guess, assuming MS never gets a proper fix out lol
Well, you know what - I know a bunch of shops that keep a rusty physical DC running, guess why - because their Hyper-V domain-joined boxes developed the very symptome discussed here. 😂
I guess you are right, won't hold my breath about getting this ever fixed and will look at the network adapter cycling hacks.
Which reminds me: oh yeah, the metadata staging failed bug still alive and kicking in 2025 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-says-it-fixed-a-windows-metadata-server-issue-thats-still-broken/. Perhaps MS metadata servers also have wrong firewall profile applied. 🤪
