Currently Samba still doesn't support network neighbourhood.

There is a way to start nmbd on a Samba 4 DC manually with doing some
special settings in smb.conf. Andrew told me that secret some time ago.
But it's nothing that is recommended and not supported. But my
experiences with it is, that the browsing list is always much smaller
than it should. So it's better not to use this "workaround".
