It is not "Can it be done?" but rather, "How can we do it?"

Hi Jim.
I had recently noticed an issue with all my PCs: They were not shown in the Network folder. I still could access those machines but they were just not listed there. I assumed it was when MS removed the Homegroup, but I can't say for sure.
While I was digging for the cause, I noticed the Function Discovery Resource Publication Service (FDResPub) was stopped and it was set to start manually. Well, this is a service required for the network discovery to work properly, so I started it and the computer I was working on immediately became visible in the network folder. I did the same with all other machines and they all became visible.
So I decided to make a fix out of this, which also configures and starts a few other services: Browser, upnphost, LanmanWorkstation and LanmanServer. That's what is does.

One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Re: Net work features
And I was assuming it has something to do with SMB 1.0 being disabled because re-enabling it on a couple of systems seemed to do the trick. PCs weren't seeing my older NAS (running SMB1) But, rather than leaving PCs with a potentially unsafe service running, I just switched to running UVK off of a flash drive.
