Because it caters largely to the smaller operations crowd where
its useful for those folks I think.

What? BE has a manual input box for the machine name? Trying
to figure out why I'd want to use the browser in the first place then.

how'd you work around it?

BE uses the network browser?? What version is that?
There is no way to build that network browser and then not let others on the
network see it that I'm aware of; network browsing is older than security :)
WINS is the way to go for what I think you want to accomplish. WINS is
the preferred method.

I appreciate all your very good points.
Let me start by saying not all of our users need to be able to browse
the entire network, just a few of our machines. Currently we were
running backup exec on our server, choosing which clients to push the
agent to. Backup exec chooses the clients to push the agent to via
the network browser.
I have resolved the network browser speed issue on my WinXP
workstation by starting the "Computer Browser
service". However it
still cannot see all active machines on the network.
If I check the AD DNS, I see far more registered computers than in the
network browser. I can ping them as well to make sure they are
actually turned on.
Our subnets can all talk to each other with no ports being blocked.
However I'm not sure if broadcast traffic is being passed.
Our two AD controllers only seem to be able to keep track of the
computers in their subnet. I think our problem is that we don't have a
Subnet Browser or Local Master Browser on our other subnets.
I thought WINS was the old school way of keeping track of the
computers on the network, and it wasn't ideal to use anymore, so I
haven't looked into it at all. Am I wrong in thinking this?
How would I prevent all of our employees from being able to list the
resources in their network browser, but still be able to do it on our
IT workstations?
Thanks!
