Hello,
my question might be a bit stupid ... as i expect solution to be really
easy, but i wasn't able to find it form some time.

I have W2003 SBS installed with AD domain. All i need at the moment is
to allow remote computers to browse Active directory using my netowrk
places -> entire network -> ms windows network -> myDomainName.

This works from the server, but doesn't work from client computers
(using same credentials - domain admin). That seems that access to
active directory or to something else has to be enabled for remote
computers. I tried to look into domain security policies, but didn't
find anything.

Any help, advice would be really appreciated.
Thank you all,

Honza
 
my network places (network neighborhood) is not "browsing AD". the computers
you see in there are listed by the "computer browser service" and has
nothing to do with active directory.
check to make sure the browser service is running on all machines in

It is running an all machines, it just says that you dont have
permissions to browse "domainname" (i don't know exact error message,
because clients are Czech). I can browse it this way from server, but
from client stations using same security account i can't.

I think server and workstation services are responsible for that and
tahy are running on server and client boxes.
