I don't know all the answers to your questions at present, so I'll just
answer those I do...
> "Do users need special rights to browse the domain even though they
already have mapped a drive and are sharing data?"
Hmmm, that depends on what you mean. Network browsing (entire network in
NetHood) requires certain rights based on what permissions have been set on
a). the share permissions and b). the DACL of the shared folder (not
applicable without NTFS), e.g. some shares will not grant you access.
> "Is browsing different the accessing a shared folder?"
Yes. Browsing requires several services be running, and requires NetBT
(NetBIOS over TCP/IP).
Accessing a share simply uses the Workstation and Server services.
> "Why can administrator do this when logged into the server but not on the
XP client?"
Don't really know? Is the XP box a domain member? If not, try disabling
Simple File Sharing by going to Tools\Folder Options\View and unchecking Use
Simple File Sharing (on any Windows Explorer window).
> "Are the rights for administrator different when logged into a client vs.
the server?"
Nope. At least, not unless you configure this. Administrator is a member
of the administrators group -these are all powerful, and have the same
rights on all boxes with the same security template configurations. It is
possible to modify these rights, but this wont be the case by default.
Hope this helps,
Paul.
