CONVERT NETWORK LOCATION TYPE TO PRIVATE ON WINDOWS SERVER 2012

One of my client host server(Non-domain) was on Public Network location type which restricted me from remote login to the server. When I checked the network setting it was on public network. Changing type from public to private was not as easy windows 7.

So if you are stuck as I was, here is the fix for that.

FIX :

1. Login to your server
2. Open local group policy editor ( Windows + R and "gpedit.msc" )
3. Navigate to the following path

Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Setting /Network List Manager Policies

4. Select your connected netowork
5. On the Network location tab change it into Private
