1. Disable "computer browser" service on the win7 PCs
2. Set up a cron job which will check for the master browser status
every few minutes, and force an election if not ok:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
nmblookup -M -- - 2>&1 | grep samba.ip.address >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
smbcontrol nmbd force-election
nmblookup -M -- -|mail -s "Forced master browser election" your@email
fi
