Addresses an issue that causes a Windows device to incorrectly register host A records for two network interface controllers (NIC) after establishing a virtual private network (VPN) connection to the corporate domain. This occurs when the device is configured with two NICs and one of them is a VPN. To implement this solution, make the following registry changes and then restart your device:
Setting: DisableNRPTForAdapterRegistration
Path: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters
Type: DWORD
Value: A value of 1 means that only the host A records for the VPN interface will register on an active VPN connection. A value of 0 (default) means host A records will also be registered for other local interfaces.
-
Addresses a slow performance issue that occurs when some user applications call the NtQuerySystemInformation API very frequently on Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit (WOW64).
-
