A workstaiton is generating an error code in the events
log on a 2000 Ad server. The source is MRxSmb and the
error indicates the workstation is attempting to be the
master browser.
 
If that workstation is located at the other side of the
router (at a location where no servers resides) it is a
common fault.
The computer thinks that it is the masterbrowser from your
domain because it wins the master browser election
(broadcast based and doesn't pass routers)because there
are no servers at his locations.
In order to stop this error from occuring, use Regedit and
set the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browse
r\Parameters\MaintainServerList from Auto or YES to FALSE
on the machine!
