I havent noticed this one mentioned on the list... http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/8/21.ASP?LNG=ENG&SA=AL&SA=AL Hmmn: nice polite message. We might wish to do two things: 1) verify the problem is a problem, and address it 2) suggest a clarification to MS. I think we're winning browser elections in quite a normal way (high os level), but should not be doing so in a domain and in the presence of an NT PDC. This is a more "global" kind of cross-check than we've discussed before, but it's still just a consistancy check, something we haven't done a lot of, and arguably should. The workaround should be "Make the PDC the master browser... This may require lowering Samba's "os level" to 0, disabling Samba, the Samba computers, or ..." --dave (who is an admited Unix bigot, despite his kind words) c-b -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Although it's typical M$ propaganda ("to resolve this problem, disable the samba computers...) the proper setup should be addressed in the samba docs (and maybe an additional option in smb.conf).
