: We still need to use "My Network Place"! It's not my decision.
:
: Here the problem:
: We have multiple routed subnets... I understand the fact that on each
: subnet there is a Master Browser election. This Master Browser must
: communicate with the Domain Master Browser to get the entire network
: shared ressources of each subnets. The problem is, sometime,... I SAID
: SOMETIME, depending who is electing as Master Browser on a particular
: subnet, we have a partiel browsing list... i.e. only the network
: ressource of this particular subnet. It's look like that the Master
: Browser don't receive the entire list from the Domain Master
: Browser... However, this Master Browser can ping by name... can browse
: the AD of this Domain Master Browser. If we shutdown this Master
: Browser... a new Master Browser is electing on this subnet... and NOW,
: we get the entire network list.
:
: Why some workstations on the same subnet who acting as Master Browser
: can get the entire browser list from the Domain Master Browser and
: some others workstations DON'T ???? All workstations on this subnet
: have the same TCP/IP... DNS, WINS configuration. They all get their
: TCP/IP setting from the DHCP server.
:
: What can I do? What do you suggest?? Please, don't tell me to read the
: Microsoft Technet or something like that... I almost read all this
: stuff regarding the "BROWSING BLABLA" but nothing interresting for my
: problem !! I need EXPERT !!!!!
:
: I'm CONFUSE... and I need HELP !!!

Only DCs should be participating in domain elections. This should be
disabled on all workstation and member servers.
