Hi,

I was supposed to configure the following group policy on Windows 11 24H2.

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Network\DNS Client\Configure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) name resolution

set the following UI path to Enabled: Allow DoH (configuring to Enabled: Require DoH also conforms to the benchmark):

  • I couldn't find this group policy (see screenshot).

What I have tried so far > Created the following registry keys but still it seems like these keys are not mapping the correct policy.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]

"EnableAutoDoh"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient]

"EnableAutoDoh"=dword:00000002

Question > Is it normal to NOT have this policy by default in Windows 11? What is work-around if I need to configure this setting?
