Hi i installed windows server 2008 R2 (on Hyper-V) , but : 1- I can't change Network Location . 2- in change advanced sharing setting , i changed Network Discovery Setting to Turn on network Discovery and save change , but my settings not saved. i tried to apply policies with secpol.msc , but not effected . can you halp me ?

How is the networking configured in the server? What sort of network does this server connect to? Can Windows identify the network? What does it say about it? You cannot change the sharing options if you are not in a private network.Bill

Just have to say thankyou to Arad Haghi, this also fixed my same problem. all working well now

I am having the same problems with R2. I enabled all the services you advised and now network discovery is showing as ON for the Domain, Public and Home or Work but other machines on the domain still CANNOT see this machine. Also, I didn't have to enable these services to get network discovery to work in ANY other version of Windows when connected to a domain. This seems a little long-winded and over-complicated just to get network discovery working. I'm sure there's something simple I'm missing but for the life of me can't figure it out!

thanks, its solve my problem!!! Ricardo de Lima
