Server 2025 Core ADDS DC, Network Profile Showing as "Public" and not as "DomainAuthenticated"
OS: Windows Server 20225 Standard Core (no GUI), build 26085.1 Role: ADDS, DNS ForestMode: Windows2025Forest DomainMode: Windows2025Domain Platform: Hyper-V guest When standing up a clean Windows Server 2025 using server core and configuring it as a domain controller, the network category (profile) always shows as "public." A clean load of Windows Server 2022 with server core as a domain controller has the same behavior. However, in Server 2022, the fix is to add DNS as a required service to the nlasvc (Network Location Awareness) service. Once that is done, the network category reflects "DomainAuthenticed" and persists between reboots. In Server 2025, the nlasvc service does not have the same requiredservices as Windows Server 2022, and it does not start automatically. Even after configuring the nlasvc service the same way it is in Server 2022 and adding DNS as a required service, the network category still reflects "public." The only way to get the network category to properly reflect the "DomainAuthenticated" status is to disable and reenable the network adapter after each reboot.
Kerberos KDC Errors
Hello, I have been testing Windows Server 2025 with AD DC role and sometimes in event log I can see error. The Security Account Manager failed a KDC request in an unexpected way. The error is in the data field. The account name was and lookup type 0x108. Just a note - I did not remove the account name; it is not just there, not even once. I'm unable to connect it to some "action", so it looks a bit random. In data field there is only C000000D (in words) which is every time the same. Event ID is 7. Is this okay or anything to worry about?

Hi, i installed actual WAC public preview with my domain account (local admin) on a Server 2025 (26257). When i start WAC and i want to add window Server i can´t search Active Directory, because it says: "We can’t search Active Directory because the Windows Admin Center computer isn’t joined to an Active Directory domain. It’s also possible that your account doesn’t have permission to read from Active Directory.​" Can you help, because server is domain joined. SPN is also set on AD Computer Account with http/admincenter.domain.internal.
WS2025 Preview (26100.1) fails to boot after joining WS2016 forest
I installed WS2025 Preview (Datacenter, 26100.1) in a virtual machine and after joining the domain, the box is rendered unbootable (boot loops). I can reinstall and do other tasks as a standalone server with no problem but joining the domain immediately bricks the VM, 100% of the time. The forest is running at functional level WS2016. I disabled all GPs and verified with gpresult they are not applied. Safe mode boots if you need me to poke around. Am working to get a kernel debugger attached. No memory dump is generated and disabling reboot on errors yields nothing.
