Re: Remove invalid domain from Microsoft Windows Network?

Microsoft Windows Network has nothing to do with Active Directory. It is
an NT legacy system and uses Netbios names and broadcasts. The browse list
is built by the computer browser service.

The name you see is probably stored in WINS somewhere. If its a domain
name, look for a <domainname 1b> (domain master browser) or <domainname
1c> (domain PDC emulator) entry. Or you can clear the WINS database and let
the system rebuild it.

Hi!

I would like to know if it exist a way to find out how the Microsoft
Windows Network is populated under Entire Network / Network
Neighborhood?

I'm asking that, because I'm currently looking for a way to remove
old / invalid domains names from that list, and I couldn't find any
entry regarding those domains into WINS, DNS and local browsing
tables, SO, WHERE IT GET / POPULATE THAT LIST?

Thanks.
