When deploying Windows 7 the Network Location dialog box is sometimes shown even though the machine is joined to a domain. It's only on specific hardware but it's quite common. Microsoft now has a hotfix (KB 2028749) for this bug. A "Set Network Location" dialog box appears when you first log on to a domain-joined Windows 7-based client computer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028749/ Optional Workaround: You can set a Group Policy for Network Location - Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Network List Manager Policies / All Networks. Change Network Location to User cannot change location This is the dialog box you might get without the hotfix... / Johan

Hello Johan. Is this the correct KB number? Microsoft dupport say no such KB exists on their system, and I can't get hold of the hotfix. If it is the correct KB, do you have a contact number where they know of it's existance that I can try? Martin.
