Agreed, only that if a WINS server is being used by the particular clients, they'll query against WINS instead of the subnet master or domain master browsers. While I discourage WINS, it does make life a little simpler.

Not sure if you can stop it. ________________________________ From: Fuller, Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 10:19 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: my network places If you've got a WINS server entry in your DHCP scopes, you should be able to manually go into the WINS listings on the Wins servers and delete the objects. I think if you simply delete/tombstone, they may live for a while in the listings, so maybe delete manually, don't replicate, and do it on each WINS server. To prevent it, that'd be tricky. Maybe something along the lines of having DHCP set the node type on foreign systems to not broadcast, but even then, when a Windows box wants to broadcast, there's no stopping it. You'd have to figure out how to prevent the WINS record from being created, I can't think of a way.

They don't log into the network. As a resut their, domain or workgroup shows up in the my network places, entire network, microsoft windows network area. It is confusing and annoying to the end users. Is there a way to disable that so It doesn't show up? If that is the case is there a way to delete it off of the network after the fact? tia shawn ________________________________ The i'm Talkaton. Can 30-days of conversation change the world?
