    Hi Roger Roger,

    Thanks for your post.

    1. Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy\Configure security policy processing: This policy setting determines how security policies are processed on Windows Server. When enabled, it ensures that security policies are reprocessed even if the Group Policy objects have not changed. This can be useful for ensuring that security settings are consistently applied, but it may also increase the processing load on the server.
    2. Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\DNS Client\Configure NetBIOS settings: This policy setting allows you to configure NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) queries for fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). Enabling this policy will issue NetBT queries for multi-label and fully qualified domain names, which can improve name resolution in certain network environments. However, it may also introduce additional network traffic and potential security risks associated with NetBIOS.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
