Network Location Profile Changes From "Domain" to "Public"–Hotfix

On a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the network location profile that is selected changes unexpectedly from Domain to Public. Additionally, the firewall settings (these are determined by the network location profile) change to the settings that correspond to the Public network location profile. Therefore, some outgoing connections may be blocked, and some applications may be disconnected.

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing the problem described in this article. This hotfix might receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next software update that contains this hotfix.
