As the video on this page shows, NIC Configurator 2026 Compliance Monitor displays computer names, network adapters, network adapter policy assignments, policy compliance, non-compliant adapter properties, and non-connectivity status for network adpters.

You can display NIC advanced settings for selected network adapters individually, or you can generate a report by selecting multiple network adapters, then clicking the Excel Report button.

You can perform a scheduled network adapter reset on any group of network adapters selected (across multiple computers) and then view network adapter reset status by selecting network adapers and clicking the Schedules button, which then gives you the option to roll back your network adapter resets, or save NICs reset status to an Excel file.

Selecting one or more network adapters and then right-clicking the selection, gives you more options to run against the selection such as display route tables, contents of the DNS cache, force Group Policy updates, or flush DNS cache from selected computers, and more.

The NIC Configurator 2026 client also detects when a network adapter being monitored is in the "Other Unspecified State".

NIC Configurator 2026 monitors and detects network adapter changes and displays any state other than "Connected" in the Compliance Monitor's "NON-COMPLIANT" section which can be configured to generate an automated e-mail or text message to your phone. The below network adapter changes are captured and displayed on Compliance Monitor's screen.
