Password protected sharing
-
After Windows update reboots, under All Networks - Password protected sharing get's set to "Turn on password protected sharing" instead of the desired "Turn off password protected sharing". Is there a way to prevent updates/reboots from changing this setting?

Install the "Linux patch"

I think that like most of these things, they expect you to manage it through Group Policy or similar mechanism if you want control instead of relying on OS defaults.

It's a workgroup environment.

None of those mechanisms depend on AD. AD provides no functions of that nature.

While third parties can take advantage of Group Policy - what is your Free solution recommendation for taking advantage of GP in a workgroup setup?
I'm pretty sure local policy is not considered GP.

I'm curious to see this recommendation as well. Off the top of my head is have Powershell remoting turned on for all of the machines, and use scripts to manage stuff. That would require you having a user account on all machine with the same credentials.
Even though I haven't got around to poking with this yet, but perhaps the Saltstack / Sodium Suite can be used to push the configurations that you'd otherwise do with Group Policy.

Local Policy IS GP. It's always local policy, just whether set remotely or set locally. GP is just setting local policy. There is no central control, it's pulled by an agent on the client and local policy is set by the agent.
The sky is the limit for replacement.... script, Salt, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, cfengine, etc.
