    Hi,

     

    You can configure the network category on a Server Core machine with the following method.

     

    The network location description is stored in the following registry value:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\{<Network GUID>}

    The value of Category is set as follows;

    Public = 0
    Home = 1
    Work = 2

    In this way, you can assign the network category by modifying the value of Category as below.

     

    Hope this helps.
