I have 3 Browse Masters. The DC and the two DC's that share the login load. I use IP-Helper addresses in the Routers for each of the member servers on the network. The 3 Browse Masters also host DNS and WINS for the network. Is this a bad setup?

And VLAN-ing should have no bearing on needing or not needing the browse list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 12:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Computer Browser service Thanks for all the replies, This would go without saying that Windows 2000 and later *servers* that are domain members can get away with the browser service being off as well, yes? Does VLAN-ing have any effect here?

As long as they don't need the old WINS/NT4 domain logins and Netbios objects you're good, and I don't think that GPO has *any* effect on them ______________________________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are property of Indiana Members Credit Union, are confidential, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom this e-mail is addressed.
