I want to change master browsers on my network, anyone
know of any links to help me with that???
 
Hello Corey,

You can accomplish this in two ways:

1.) Stop the computer browser service on computer you do NOT want to the
the browse master. This will keep the server from taking place in the
browser election.

or

2.)To encourage singlehomed computers to become the browser servers, use
Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to edit the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\
IsDomainMaster
Change the value of this key to "yes" (without the quotation marks), quit
Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

To prohibit a server from maintaining the list use Registry Editor
(Regedt32.exe) to edit the following registry
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\
MaintainServerList

Change the value of this key to "false" (without the quotation marks), quit
Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

NOTE: In Windows 2000, instead of the value false, use the value, "no"
(without the quotation marks).
