Re: Workstations cannot see workgroup afetr installing Windows Server 2003 R2

A machine cannot be a member of both a workgroup and a domain at the same
time. A user cannot be logged on as a local user and a domain user at the
same time from one machine. Since you said they can "log on to the domain
fine", I am assuming the machine and the user are a member of the domain
now. That's why they can't browse their old workgroup.

With the correct domain permissions, they could still access resources on
those other (now domain member) machines though.

We just installed a new server at a site and set up an active directory
domain for the users. They can log on to the domain fine, but they
cannot browse their previous workgroup. The only thing that shows up in
"entire network" is the new domain. I am thinking this is due to some
new security policy in R2, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would
be GREATLY appreciated!
