"Backwards compatibility", this means no NT4 servers right? What if I have a few Win98 PC's? We are a 2003 Domain with mostly XP systems but we have a few Mac's and 98 machines for backward capability testing. Then again the GPO won't affect them so it shouldn't matter, right?

Just another service that consumes resources that can be shut down if you don't need the backwards compatibility. ________________________________ From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 9:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Computer Browser service Does anyone here leave the computer browser service on for workstations and member servers? I don't for my personal business' clients, but my day job requires solid documentation on why we should turn off the browser service via GPO.
