Re: [NF] Win 7 Update messing with network settings?

Thanks, Mike. Maybe I've got other gremlins in the soup...

The symptom that has been showing up is the "Set Network Location" prompt you get when you create a new network interface, where it asks you to select whether the new circuit is a Home, Public, or Work network. After making the selection, if you look at the IPV4 settings for the NIC it shows DHCP.

I know it's most likely just a bit flipped in the registry, but this is a first in my experience.

Thanks for the feedback!

I just checked several of our manually configured Win 7 Pro systems, and all of them remain manually configured after automatically installing the updates of 1/13. Sorry.

Subject: [NF] Win 7 Update messing with network settings?

Has anyone else run into this in the last few days? (like since last
Tuesday)

I've had 10 or 12 Windows 7 Pro systems, so far, that have had their NIC IP
address settings switched from manually configured to DHCP. At first I
thought it was a fluke, but I keep finding more and more systems that this
has happened to. And there was a forced reboot update from MSoft last week.

I'm not suggesting nefarious activity, just that I have never seen this
happen before.

All of the systems are locked down with Admin accounts that use a password
that is not available to anyone but myself and one other person. Some of the
computers are running video display systems (kiosks)...not even touched by
users.

The one thing they all have in common is Windows 7 pro.

Anything happening like that to anyone else?

Thanks!
