I personally favor disabling it on all workstation machines. There's little harm in leaving it running on servers, even non DC's.
The big question is whether or not its needed - are the browse list issues relevant enough to fix. In other words, is there a minor change to usage that would eliminate the issue entirely? The biggest place I'd expect to see this is if users are publishing shares from their own machines. -------- Roger Seielstad E-mail Geek & MS-MVP > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tyson Leslie > Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 4:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Master Browser > > Do you still suggest turning it off on all servers and > workstations (as per > your KB article), even in an all W2K or better environment? > We have done > so (via group policy) for quite some time, but recently ended > up having to defend this decision to an admin in one of our > other offices, because he was encountering browse list issues > in his domain.
