Domain Controller showing network connection as Public
Notice for quite awhile now with the vnext server builds that when you promote it to domain controller it shows the network connections as public or private instead of DomainAuthenticated. Is there a networking piece that I am missing that needs to be configured
VMXnet3 Server 2025 performance issues
Had an odd one crop up today. I updated my Server 2025 template to the 26063.1 release and then sysprepped it. Converted it back to a new VM and network performance was .25 Mbps down. Both on my local lan and on the internet. I removed the VMXnet3 and put in an E1000 and performance was exactly as expected. I shut the VM down, removed the E1000 put in a new network with vmxnet3 and again got horrible performance. I have not seen this with other deployments of 2025 earlier builds.Announcing Windows Server vNext Preview Build 26454

Hi Why in Advanced sharing settinggs the Turn on network discovery can't save the settings in Windows Server 2019 Preview? Although as an admin I turn it on and save settings, it's again off when I open Advanced sharing settinggs. The second problem is that when I click Choose media streaming optons, I get the message The page failed to load.
