So, really the only thing this service does is allow users to click through the Network Neighborhood (or its successors). Is it correct that it does not prevent users from finding devices from the run line or (obviously) from mapped drives?
As for publishing shares from workstations ... (zoinks!) you may have bigger fish to fry! ;-) -- nme -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 10:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Master Browser I personally favor disabling it on all workstation machines. There's little harm in leaving it running on servers, even non DC's. The big question is whether or not its needed - are the browse list issues relevant enough to fix. In other words, is there a minor change to usage that would eliminate the issue entirely? The biggest place I'd expect to see this is if users are publishing shares from their own machines. -------- Roger Seielstad E-mail Geek & MS-MVP > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tyson Leslie > Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 4:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Master Browser > > Do you still suggest turning it off on all servers and > workstations (as per > your KB article), even in an all W2K or better environment? > We have done > so (via group policy) for quite some time, but recently ended > up having to defend this decision to an admin in one of our > other offices, because he was encountering browse list issues > in his domain.
