Enable Network Based Discovery Services ( Server 2016 And 2012 R2 )
I have experienced an interesting issue today. I was about to set up a network sharing path to an application which doesn't support full path as its a network ( client-server) application.
When i tried to browse the path under network I wasn't able to see any shared files under network.
After some search on google and personal help from my Network Guru , I fix it
Let's see what we need to do to enable it.
There is few services and needs to be enabled to browse the file under network.
1)DNS Client - Make sure its running
2) Function Discovery Resource Publication Property - Running /Started
3) SSDP Discovery - Running / Started
4) UPnP Device Host - Running / Started
in addition to this services make sure the network discovery is turn on as well.
Now we need to enable the netBios as well in TCP/IP
Thats all we should be able to see the path
