Re: Cannot browse the network after migration

Hello,

Thanks for your update and let me know the important information.

>From the log, I found the following error on the second NIC:

Browsing is NOT active on domain. Status: 6118

Based on my research, the cause is the multiply NICs are all enable NetBT.
Therefore, I suggest you perform the following steps:

- Disabled NetBT on secondary NIC
- Enabled netBT on primary NIC
- restarted Computer Browser service

If the issue persist, please help me collect the network MPS Report as
following and send to me at v-amanwa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

a. Visit
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE. to download the file.
b. Run the MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE
c. Wait for 10~15 minutes.
d. Open Windows explorer, navigate to
%SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\cab\
e. Send the .cab file directly to me.

HTH!

Thanks & Regards
