>From the afore mentioned article could I have this explained please? The Server service supports information levels that let you set each parameter individually. For example, the command NET CONFIG SRV /HIDDEN uses information level 1016 to set just the hidden parameter. However, NET.EXE queries and sets information levels 102 (hidden, comment, users, and disc parameters) and 502. As a result, all parameters in the information level get permanently set in the Registry. SRVMGR.EXE and the Control Panel Server query and set only level 102 (not level 502) when you change the server comment.
Administrators wishing to hide Windows computers from the browse list or change the autodisconnect value should make those specific changes using REGEDT32.EXE instead of the command line equivalents discussed above. The server comment can be edited using the description field of the Control Panel Server applet or Server Manager. The reason for asking is this sort of fits in with an earlier post that I had to the list (see below) where my DC's were missing from the browse list but as soon as I removed the computer description they came back. /SNIP On 5/9/05, Mark Parris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: All, I have a domain with a forest root (AD1) and two child domains (AD2 & AD3). When I browse AD1 and AD2, no domain controllers are listed under Microsoft windows network\domain name. Yet under AD3 I can see all domain controllers with no issue. I have run all the normal troubleshooting tools and I am at a loss as what to try next, can anyone please suggest anything? /SNIP Many Thanks Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Free, Bob Sent: 14 July 2005 23:17 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] computer description in AD vs. computer description in My Computer/Properties >I also think there was an old "gotcha" When you use net config server it mucks with autotuning of the server service, at least it did through W2K.

I usually set them both to be the same thing [manually], but I suppose you're asking if one "tool" can set them both at the same time? Possibly can script it with ADMOD for the AD side and "net config server" for the browse list. That might not be exactly what you're after, and I also think there was an old "gotcha" to configuring LANMANSERVER using that 'net' command. Can't think of it at the moment. -DaveC Reuters IS&T Service Delivery -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.
