Enable Network Discovery in Windows Server 2022

Windows Server has had its new version (in the Insider phase) called Windows Server 2022 which offers us different functionalities both in role segments as well as its characteristics and services and one of them is the network detection function with which we can find and access other computers and devices on the network and reciprocally the other computers on the network will have server display in Windows Server 2022..

 

Network discovery function
Network detection in Windows Server 2022 is disabled by default (for security reasons) and this function offers us options such as:

 

  • Active: this is the option so that the server can view and access other computers and devices on the network, as well as make the server visible
  • Disabled: it is the default option and as such it does not allow us to see other devices on the network and the server will also be hidden
  • Custom - As the name implies, this is an option to adjust network discovery settings to limit some of them

 

 

 

TechnoWikis will explain how to activate this functionality in Windows Server 2022.
