How to manually configure Windows Server using User Control Panel?

Microsoft had launched a Windows series for server operating system. Windows Server service can automatically set itself, but you can also manually configure it with the use of Control Panel.
Every time you boot Windows, server configuration parameters are automatically configured. However, if you do not want to set Server with the use of Control Panel Networks, then you have to run certain commands so that default parameters are written to the registry.
When you run the command “NET CONFIG SRV /SRVCOMMENT Windows will not change the calculated value of automatically set entries. In this way, it can be said that once you have run the above mentioned command, you become unable to add or remove system memory, or to modify any server size setting.
In case you want to view configuration information about the server, you can use the command “NET CONFIG SERVER.” This command will only display the information without doing any modification. There are some Server service support information levels, which let you configure every parameter individually.
The command “NET CONFIG SRV /HIDDEN” make use of information level 1016 in order to set the hidden parameter. Another command “NET.EXE” queries and sets information levels 102 and 502. After you run the given commands, all the parameters in the information level will set in the registry.
Once the parameters are set in the registry, the commands “SRVMGR.EXE” and the Control Panel Server query will set only level 102. If you are an administrator and want to modify the auto disconnect value, then you should not use the commands mentioned above. You should use “REGEDT32.EXE” for performing some specific modifications.
You can easily modify the server comment with the use of description field of the Control Panel Server applet or Server Manager. In case you want to modify the registry, you have to first take its backup for protection. Follow the given steps for restoring the LAN Manager Server parameters to the defaults, or to reconfigure Windows so that it auto-configures the Server service:
STEP 1: Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
STEP 2: From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
STEP 3: Remove all the entries except the following:
EnableSharedNetDrives

STEP 4: Quit Registry Editor and restart Windows.
