Network Profiles were first introduced to allow administrators to configure different firewall profiles based upon what network a user connects to.
Administrators could change the profile by navigating to Network and Sharing Center in control panel and selecting the profile which suits their needs.
In Server 2012, Administrators can no longer change the network profile in Network and Sharing Center, they can view just not change.
You can accomplish this in Power-Shell:
To see the current profile:
|
1 |
Get-NetConnectionProfile |
To change the profile:
|
1 |
Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 12 -NetworkCategory Private |
You can do it with a one line command:
|
1 |
Get-NetConnectionProfile | Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private |
