Nevertheless, today I found out that it is also needed on a single LAN with
several workgroups.
I have two servers, both domain controllers:
Server1 has workgroup name = LIEMERS-MUSEUM
Server2 has workgroup name = LIEMERS2MUSEUM
Without the remote announce, I could see both workgroups in Network
Neighborhood => Complete network, but I only saw server 1 in Network
neighborhood itself.
Only after uncommenting the line
remote announce = 10.0.0.3/LIEMERS-MUSEUM
(where 10.0.0.3 is the address of Server1) I could see Server2 in the network
neighborhood.
