Re: Problems Browsing Domain

Hello Michael,

I can do a net view \\computername and pull up the resources on the box.
But when I do a Nbtstat -r is shows 0 names resolved by the server. We are
not blocking netbios internally and it's enable on the boxes.

I'm sorry about the last post .... i put in the wrong key ... i meant it's
the IsDomainMaster that is set to false on both AD servers. Shouldn't the
PDC emulator have this set to true ? I was worried that setting this to
true on the PDC emulator box might cause problems. I'm thinking since both
have the value of false, it does not let either come up as the master
browser.

I recall the problems starting around the time we installed SP1 on the
2003 AD Servers ?

Hi Jo,

A setting of true on both machines is not much different
than a setting of false on both machines. This setting
doesn't guarantee a machine will act as the segment
master browser. The PDC emulator in your case will,
by default, act as the segment master browser. It also
has the role of domain master browser which is different
than an SMB. The SMB collects the local list and passes
on to the DMB as well as pass the fully merged list back
to clients that request it. This whole process relies on
NetBIOS so I would start by making sure NetBIOS isn't
being blocked by any type of software or hardware firewall
or being disabled.

I am having problems with browsing on our AD2003 Domain .



Below is background on our setup



AD 2003 Domain



2 Domain Servers



The AD servers have WINS running on them as well. All the clients
have WIN entries and have enable Netbios over TCP/IP. I can map to
machines on the network with computer name without any problems ... but
when i go to browse the network, i don't see any machines besides the one
I'm on. Both my AD2003 AD servers have the MaintainServerList set to
false. Should I set the value to True on the AD box that is the PDC
emulator in the domain ? Is it safe to set the value to true on a
Windows 2003 AD Server ?



Also, when I run NetBIOS Browsing Console in the domain it shoots
have that the PDC?Domian Master Browser : not found.
