Anyone know how to fix master browser issues on 2000
server? My PDC keeps saying that only DC is saying it is
the master browser and an election is being forced. This
should not be happening as they should all be backups
besides the PDC! HELP!

Not true, the rootDC is a domain master browser, every subnet also gets a
master browser and a backup browser. Any system that reboots or starts and
is available to act as a browser will trigger an election in its subnet,
regardless of whether it stands a chance to win an election.

The fix is to modify the PC's participation in browser elections. How you do
that depends on the client involved.
