RE: [ActiveDir] Master Browser

[Perdue David J Contr InDyne/Enterprise IT]

The computer browser service is used to populate things like Network Neighborhood and isn't related to any of the FSMO roles or truly critical network use.  Unless it's causing problems for your users, I wouldn't worry about it.  If you do want to worry about it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;188305 I've used this article a couple of times to troubleshoot because a PHM thinks the network is down because he can only see 8 computers in Network Neighborhood, regardless of the status of e-mail and everything else.   Dave ------------------------------------------------ David J.
