I am running a new Win 2008 r2 server as a Domain Controller in Hyper-V. The system is running smoothly.
The problem:
When I turn ON Network Discovery in "Change Advanced Sharing Settings", when I go back to check it it will be OFF. Network Discovery is turned ON inside the Firewall settings, Allow a program or feature through the Windows Firewall.
What could be causing this? Why would it show ON in one place and OFF in another? Which one takes precedence? thanks - tom
Hi,
Thanks for the post.
This issue will occur if the dependency services are disabled. Please make sure the following services are enabled and running.
- DNS Client
- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
Hope this helps.
Miles
Thanks for the reply.
Ok. Here are my current settings and my followup question.
DNS Client - Started
Function Discovery Resource Publication - Not started
SSDP Discovery - Not started
UPnP Device Host - Not started
My question is: Inside the firewall settings, under "Allow a Program of Feature through the firewall" I have Network Discovery Enabled for Domain, Home, and Public. But it is still disabled under "Change Advanced Sharing Settings". Is
Network Discovery enabled or not? Which setting takes precedence, the settings inside the firewall or the setting inside of "Change Advanced Sharing Settings?"
I will now proceed to enable these services that you have brought to my attention and see if I am able to "turn ON" Network Discover under Change Advanced Sharing Settings. I will repost afterwards. thanks again.
I went one by one turning on the services that you listed and after turning on each one I went into "Change Advanced Sharing Settings" and turned on Network Discovery then went back in to check to see if it turned back OFF again.
It kept turning back OFF until I got to the last one and started it. After starting all services it will now stay ON in "Change Advanced Sharing Settings". I still don't understand why/how it showed ON in the firewall and OFF in "Change Advanced
Sharing Settings".
1- Should I set these services to start automatically upon boot?
2- Is there a good reason these services should be left OFF?
3- Do these services need to be on on other Windows 2008 servers?
thanks - awaiting your reply

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please make sure that the startup type of the following three services could be set to Manual. And these service should be logged on with Local Service account.
Function Discovery Resource Publication
SSDP Discovery
UPnP Device Host
Hope this helps.
Miles
MZ-
can you reply to my last post concerning these services?
Hi Poly,
Function Discovery Resource Publication should be manual. Anyway try the following steps
1. Enable file sharing as shown in below link
2. make sure you can ping public domain name like yahoo.com
3. Also make sure client for networks and file and print sharing are enabled on TCP properties
4. disable third party Antivirus and security solution for time being and check the network discovery
5. Make sure ssdp discovery and Upnp are manual and started.
Thanks
uday

thanks man you helped me out alot
Not as completely useless as your post. You should learn some manors.
Hi Miles,
I also was had a problem with not being able to access my files on my laptop, but thanks to your advice it all works alright now.
The Blue Baron
Same problem.
I did nothing, Windows 7 did an Automatic update, come in Monday, turn on the machine and no network sharing. Just turns itself off all the time after I try to turn it on.
The Local FireWall does the same, can't turn it off (I can on Public Networks), this seems just Stupid as Public is more dangerous.
This seems like stupid Windows bugs again.
Manors? Perhaps you should learn about homophones?Not as completely useless as your post. You should learn some manors.
Thanks for your answer.
It's correct. I just start two services (ssdp discovery and Upnp)manually, and I can see the Turn on in window.
It works well.
