This is one for the books & it was never Scanmail. Apparently OfficeScan by Trendmicro is the product that effects browsing. Anyway, the real problem & solution: I am using a tool, namely Scriptlogic, for various things. One such task was to automatically fill the "comment" or "srvcomment" field on all machines so we could automatically know the owner of the machine. Check out: http://www.scriptlogic.com/support/teknotes/s1076.asp Well, it appears that using this script on Win2k SERVERS broke browsing. I don't know why. It works fine on workstations. To resolve the issue I ran the following from the command line: (1) net config server /srvcomment:"machinename" where I put the name of each server in for machinename. (2) Since I was running WINS, I also ran 'nbtstat -R' to clear everything (3) Then 'nbtstat -RR' Sometimes it takes a little while (more than 40 mins sometimes) but eventually everthing populates & browsing worked again. Unfortunately, it has taken almost 3 weeks to discover this while working w/MS techsupport.

So, please pardon me if it offends anyone. My team recently rebuilt our 2 multi-master, NT4 into a single AD Win2k domain. We were able to browse when we were in test mode....even with 1 E2K server running. Once we added the latest version of Trend Micro's Scanmail and E-manager to the mix but we actually didn't notice it at first. Browsing thru AD's Users & Computers works fine. However, when you use the "old" browse entire network & look at it from an NT/Win9x point of view, the only machines that are listed are DHCP clients (servers or workstations) and the 2 E2K (native mode, member servers).....not even the PDC Emulater/master browser. I have been working this issue w/Trend & MS for more than a week & it's still not resolved. MS states that a Scanmail is the issue but that the problem hasn't been made public yet. Trend doesn't seem to have a clue. Does anyone else have any clues? Other info: * Two physical sites. * An AD DC that serves as the GC (global catalog) in both sites * A WINs server in each site....both member servers..replicating to each other using AD. Wins has been check, re-checked & triple checked. * A DNS server in each site...both member servers.... * Domain is native mode although we had the same problem in mixed mode. * All servers are running SP2 including E2K w/SP2. * The PDC doesn't see all the servers, so no clients will either. The only time I can remember that we could browse all the servers is when my Exchange servers weren't online. Any help is appreciated.
