How am I able to make a server a Domain Master Browser?
The Master Browser at the moment is on a "remote" site
which seems a waste. I would rather have a "centralised"
server in this role as I have a "star" and "triangle"
configuration between the sites.

Thanking you for your time in advance.

Does the remote computer hold the PDC Emulator role?

To my knowledge the PDC will be the Domain master browser and then for each
different subnet in the domain we will have a "Sement Master Browser"
The Browser election is automatic but basically the segment master browsers
will communicate their local knowledge to the domain master browser which is
the PDC.

The process and link to the white paper is:
