...irectly can have serious, unexpected consequences that can prevent the system from starting and require that you reinstall Windows 2000. To configure or customize Windows 2000, use the programs in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or Control Panel whenever possible. Another entry in the registry, IsDomainMaster, helps determine which servers become master browsers and backup browsers. Setting the value of the IsDomainMaster entry to True makes the computer a preferred master browser. Any computer running Windows 2000 or Windows NT can be configured as a preferred master browser. When the browser service...

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

...share up some backup drive space and some generic network storage. One of those (C20) also serves as an apt-cacher. What I failed to consider in my "conversion" to Linux was who was the 'domain master browser' and who the backups were. The winXP desktop is still set to "IsDomainMaster = Yes" in it's registry and the "Computer Browser" service is running. But there are no longer any backups in the network that I'm aware of. Yesterday I was VNCing into one of the crunchers and it wouldn't connect. Ran a .bat file I have that pings all the machines...

Hi list, I have a network with a Linux server, running samba 2.2.x, and 10 Workstation. 3 of the workstation are Win2000 and the rest is Win98 and WinME. In the logfiles I see that every 10 Minutes the Win2000 Workstations are forcing a election to become the local master browser for the network. The server wins the election each time but there is still a small amount of time (maybe 4 minutes)

...k neighbourhood and the only machines seen is the vista client and my fileserver. By changing the regedit entries on the client side following this advice: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > Browser > Parameters MaintainServerList = No IsDomainMaster = FALSE seemed to help a bit, but the problem still remains. There is one user with a Vista Home Edition that still have this problem. The global part of smb.conf: netbios name = XXXX-FILE workgroup = XXXX security = user server string = Samba ver. %v interfaces = 10.0.0.4...

Hello everybody. I've been trying for weeks to find a solution for my problem, but since I couldn't find anything, here I am. I manage a network of about 200 PCs, 90% windows XP and Vista, 10% linux. A samba server is located on the main server, acting as a WINS server, to manage the list of connected computers. However, when a resident computer is badly configured (ie no wins server

I've got a Solaris 2.6 SPARC system running Samba 2.0.6 and an NT-4.0sp5 PDC system. If Samba is running on the Sun system when the NT PDC is rebooted it (the NT system) complains that there is already another PDC in the domain. This should not be as far as I can see as I've tried specifically to configure the Samba systems not to do this and in fact prior to upgrading to Samba version
