I'd like to force a station to be Node Type p-mode instead of hybrid.

In regedit: cptr\HLMCurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters I don't find the node mode.

The goal is to remove UDP port 138 packets sent by each node to the broadcast domain about every 10 minutes.

Your registry key path is a little off, check for the DHCPNodeType value in the following key:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters

You'll likely need to change the value from the default of 0x8 to 0x2.

Reference: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781175(v=ws.10).aspx

The documentation reference is for Server 2003 but I just verified that the key/value are present in the same location in Server 2012 R2.

  • The DHCPNodeType key is not present in my case. Maybe because no WINS server is configured yet, or because the server is configured statically (no dhcp) maybe? – Xavier Nicollet Apr 06 '16 at 20:00
  • No, the server I checked is configured statically with no WINS servers defined. You should be able to add the value as a `REG_DWORD` using the referenced documentation. – learley Apr 06 '16 at 20:19
