I have nt 4.0, sp6a network with 1 PDC and 3 BDC’s, some win2k clients but mostly 95 & 98 clients (about 90 clients in all). My understanding of browsing is basically that there is a browse master heirarchy, 1st the PDC, followed by BDC’s, the win2k, win98 and win95. My servers are up and running 24/7. However when we check the logs, we sometimes see a PC that thinks it should be the master browser and then we end up going to that pc and disabling the browse announce under the file and print sharing properties. We have gone through and disabled this on all of our clients, but you know how it is, a new pc is purchased, a hard drive replaced, someone forgets…… Here is an example of the message:
The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer KARLA TRIBLEY that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_CpqNF31. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced. (this is a win98 pc)
What I don’t know is what is causing this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
