You can't disable the NRPT in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

If the client is not connected to the DirectAccess server, you will not have the Disconnect option for disabling the Name Resolution Policy Table (NRPT) in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

By design, the Disconnect option to disable the NRPT is available only if you have already made a successful connection to the DirectAccess server.

↑ Back to the top

Resolution

After you apply this hotfix, the Disconnect option to disable the NRPT is available when the DirectAccess client is not actually connected to a DirectAccess server. This gives users inside acorporate network access to corporate resources if the network location server becomes unavailable. It's a requirement that the network location server be highly available. However, if it becomes unavailable, the Windows 8.x clients that have this hotfix installed can use the Disconnect option to disable the NRPT in order to access corporate resources.
