Hello:

I have inherited a network that exhibits two oddities. The network is all Windows 2000 or later.  DNS is AD-integrated. There are no WINS servers.

Periodically, I get an MRxSmb Event ID 8003 error where a workstation is thinks it is the master browser for NetBT. I thought DCs were automatically the master browser. Any thoughts?

Also, when I make a VPN connection to the network (to a W2k pptp server), I am not able to logon to the domain using its DNS name (company.com). The eventvwr says “the specified domain does not exist”. However, it works fine if I just use the NetBIOS name of COMPANY.

Are these related? Do I need a WINS server (despite my W2k/XP purity)?

Thanks.
