Change network profile on Windows Server 2016

Open Powershell
Type Get-NetConnectionProfile
If you have only one network connection you can change the profile to private by typing:
```
Get-NetConnectionProfile | Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private
```
If you have multiple network interfaces and would like to change a specific adapter use the Interface Index Property like this:
```
Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 3 -NetworkCategory Private
```
You can then verify the change has taken place by running Get-NetConnectionProfile again:

The same command also works to switch back to a public profile

Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 3 -NetworkCategory Public

thank you for this tip. I have two almost identical Win2016 Server VMs, with similarly configured firewalls. The only difference in network settings was that one VM was Public and the other was Private; I have no idea how it got set up this way.
I was able to connect with Oracle tools from a remote host only to VM with Public network.
Changing network from Private to Public resolved Oracle connection problem from remote hosts on the second VM.
