How do I change LAN settings - windows

Want to change lan settings but it keep throwing me message.
Some settings are managed by your administrator.
There is no DOMAIN, there is no other users instead of me : which belongs to
Tried with : gpedit.msc
Security ZONES.
Also tried directly though REGEDIT.
How to get rid of this i think its malware.

WLANPolicy, distribuited to Windows11 Client on Microsoft Active Directory (WPA2 + AES)

I have an on premise AD with around 70 clients, we distribuite a wifi policy that has the pre-configuration to join the local Private Wireless Network (the one that has access to printers and network drive).
There is a computer (there was another one but was formatted) that works perfectly, join the domain, etc but when I download the wlan policy ( C:\Windows\wlansvc\Policies ) doesn't work at all.
Checking the file inside the policies, seems to work perfectl, i compared it with a compare plugin to the same configuration file that has been downloaded to my computer and still it always results in "Cannot connect to Wifi Private".
Both of the computers are Windows 11, both in domain, both under the same OU, both with policies applied.. but when I apply the certificate to the second one, there is no way.
Tried to remove it from domain, rejoin, but the only way that I have to make it work is to literally cancel manually the Wlansvc policy file, restart the WLAN network service and then I can join with user and password.
Tried also to reset network services, nothing..
Anyone who had the same issue? Anyone that knows what else I could check?
Thanks

"Remote machine is AAD" but "The logon attempt failed"

I setup Remote Desktop Connection and the computer says: AzureAD\username already has access:
Very good, let's try to connect using AzureAD\username:
Unfortunately it says:
Your credential did not work. Remote machine is AAD joined. If you are
signing in to your work account, try using your work email address.
Of course it didn't work. Any idea?
To successfully connect to an AzureAD joined computer using Remote Desktop, you will need to first save your connection settings to a .rdp file.
To do this, open the Remote Desktop Connection program, enter the IP Address or computer name, then click the "Save As" button at the bottom of the screen. Save it someplace convenient, since we'll need to edit this file by hand.
Next, Right-Click the saved .rdp file and open with Notepad.
Go to the very bottom of the file, add the following lines:
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
authentication level:i:2
Save the file and close.
Now, try double clicking the modified .rdp file and login using the format:
AzureAD\YourFullUsername
Screenshots, original information and credit go to bradleyschacht.com
As an updated answer, the solution is to simply open up the options for the connection, go to the Advanced tab, and check "Use a web account to sign in to the remote computer".
As long as RDP is enabled on the remote machine and the user you are trying to logon is with authorized, it should work.
The Azure Active Directory username is not exactly clear though.
Joined computer via 'FirstName#domain.com', an Azure Active Directory domain account.
Computer shows 'AzureAD\FirstNameLastName' as authorized for RDP since it's an administrator account.
Must use 'AzureAD\FirstName#domain.com' for RDP username.
No other settings changes needed, no manual editing of RDP file just had to get the username right.
from your window, it doesn't seem like you logged in with an azuread account, try with francescomantovani#yourazureaddomain.com as a username?
as per here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/connect-to-remote-aadj-pc
When you connect to the remote PC, enter your account name in this
format: AzureAD UPN. The local PC must either be domain-joined or
Azure AD-joined. The local PC and remote PC must be in the same Azure
AD tenant.
For some reason the old remote desktop connection application was throwing the same error. I tried connecting through new remote desktop application( included in windows 10 ), it connected without any problem.
The issue is related to the password, which we have set at the time of the creation of VM.
That password doesn't meet the complexity criteria that we didn't get informed about while setting the username & password firstly. Therefore we need to reset the password.
1). click on created VM --> choose reset Password from the side menu.
2). This time they will tell us about constraints for setting the password.
3). Choose the appropriate password.
4). Now login via this format as below:
username : <publicIpOfVM>/<username>
password: newPassword

Make sure that the default admin$ share is enable on ServerName

When running the psexec command to remotely install or execute something on a sever on the same network the following error was displayed.
Couldn't access ServerName
The network name cannot be found
Make sure that the default admin$ share is enable on ServerName
Most references suggested that you add the following to the registry, but in my case this was already added to the server. This did not resolve the issue.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and create or modify a REG_DWORD value LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set its value to 1
Solution:
You need to add the 'admin$' share which is your C:\Windows location.
Go to C:\windows and right-click --> Properties
Hit advance sharing
Click the check box Share this folder
Enter the name admin$ and hit Permissions
I would recommend removing 'Everyone' and adding just the users that the PsExec command will use to execute.
Run the PsExec command again and this should resolve your issue.
Edit:
You can also turn on your AutoShareServer in the registry, which will automatically create the admin shares.
Start regisry regedit
Search for key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\AutoShareServer
Change the AutoShareServer key to 1
You can also enable amins$ share by enabling File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In) Firewall Rule.
Go to Control Panel > System ans Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Advance Settings > Inbound Rules. Right click on File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In) from the list and select Enable Rule`. Normally, there are two File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In), one is for Domain profile and one is for Public & Private profile. I'm not sure which profile should be applied, Domain or Public or Private. For me, it's Domain profile.
In my case it was a network problem like mentioned in the error message.
I needed to allow SMB traffic on port 445 on the target machine. PSExec worked straight away after adding the firewall rule to allow that traffic.

Browsing UNC Paths with a Mobile Emulator/Device

What would cause an emulator unable to view the network UNC shares? When attempting to open any computer on the network via 'Open Path' or Internet Explorer, I am tossed "The network path was not found." followed by "Network resource cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network." Things to note:
Connecting to the IP address does not work.
I am able to browse the internet via the emulator.
ActiveSync has been configured appropriately and I have installed the needed drivers for the adapter, and the emulator is cradled.
Firewall disabled/setup with correct forwardings.
Network folder permissions are setup properly.
What strikes me as odd is I have also attempted to browse UNC shares on a physical Windows Mobile 5 device, with the same issue. This leads me to believe something within our network settings is causing this but I'm not sure where to start. People have recommended checking ActiveDirectory security policies, but what policies affect UNC shares? This has turned into a rather serious issue because until I am able to resolve this, I am unable to go through with setting up merge replication. Has anyone experienced this and successfully resolved this issue?
Your network is looking for authentication.
I get that here at my work place, too.
As long as your network key is entered correctly, you should be able to try browsing to that same path 2 or 3 more times, still getting those same obnoxious ("The network path was not found." followed by "Network resource cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network.") messages.
At one of those times, a login box should appear where you type in a Username, Password, and Domain.
You will also have the ability at this point to save your password so you are not prompted for it every time you attempt to access something across your network.
Now here's the real crapper: After you save your Username/Password combination, there does not appear to be any mechanism within the Windows Mobile device to change that password after it expires on your network. You will never be prompted again to change that password, either. You will only get one of those silly messages above because your password is incorrect.
The only solution to this seems to be to reset the device. I have had a question open with Microsoft for about 3 years now, and it has been passed from one forum to another. I've finally just decided that it must not be able to be done, but Microsoft has never written back to tell me that.

Issues remoting to perfmon

Hey all,
I'm having trouble with PerfMon on one system out of fifteen in a development environment. Accessing it from the local machine is fine but connecting to it remotely throws a "Cannot connect" error.
Each machine is running Win 2003, is connected to the same domain and I have admin rights to all.
There were some services set to disabled which are normally enabled by default so I've set these to match the other machines on the network - still have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers
**Update**
Ok - I found it was the remote registry service not running correctly causing the above error; Once that was enabled Perfmon is now telling me "No such interface supported".
If I connect through Computer Management, it fails the first time, but the second attempt is successful. Connecting through perfmon fails everytime.
Fixed - for anyone that runs into this issue, hopefully this can help you..
Enabling Remote Registry fixed my first problem.
The second issue, "No such interface supported" turned out to be permissions issues within the registry. Apparently the machine had some pretty obscure permissions set to specific registry keys a long time ago, which are now irrelevant.
Resetting permissions with secedit fixed it up -
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
Perfmon counters are now accessible remotely.
We encountered the second issue - "No such interface supported" when attempting to "Connect to another computer" in Performance monitor.
All the rules and services are running.
We found the following:
If the user was added to the local admin group, they were able to connect to another computer (irrespective of belonging to the Performance Monitor group).
If the user was not a local admin and in the performance monitor group - we were unable to connect to another computer via the "Connect to another computer" context menu.
But we were able to add the performance counters. In Performance monitor when you add a counter there is an option to "Select counters from computer". We were able to connect to the counters on the remote machine this way. Also note that if you are planning on data collecting, you would need to set the correct credentials (by default it appears to run under a local system user).
I fixed my case as follows:
Add Firewall rule Performance Logs and Alerts from the predefined rule list.
From client, run the Performance Monitor as the remote user
Eg: runas /user:remote_machine\username "mmc perfmon.msc"
Of course, the user must be at least in the user groups "Performance Log users" or "Performance Monitor Users".
The reason why perfmon.exe do not want to connect to the remote server is, it wants to connect to the Perf Monitor and the Perf Logs (Data collections).
So you have to add the user account to also the Log User group and of course to the Monitor Users.
you don't need to be local admin on the remote server!
