Considering the changing of Network adapter settings and when they are actually applied, expecially considering when to be certain that these settings have applied as a dependency for application testing.
On the windows TCP/IP settings , there are various levels of settings.
TCP/IP properties - Static or DHCP ip And automatic or set DNS
Advanced TCP/IP Settings - IP settings , DNS (append suffixes, append parent suffixes e.t.c.) , WINS
I am looking at this in the context of Windows Server 2012 R2 and later.
Do changes to any of these settings require a reboot to be effective ?
If so , which changes in particular require reboot?
If no reboot is required, excuding app restarts which I would do anyway, do we require any OS specific commands to be sure ? (e.g. flushdns e.t.c. )
Kind regards,
