I have a member server, 2003 SP2. When I go to My Network Places -> Entire Network - >Microsoft Windows Network - ><domainname> (where domainname = my AD domain), I dont see any computers listed at all.
This is especially difficult because I use Symantec Backup Exec on this same machine. It uses this same subsystem to browse machines. At this point I can't manage any backup jobs.
All connectivity seems functional, and I can reach other servers by using the UNC path.
I am receiving EventID: 8032 "The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_[65C29
181-CCEB-4
908-8AAD-5

3]. The backup browser is stopping.
I have found many solutions to this error, but none so far have seemed to make the event go away or fix my browsing issue.
If I remove the Client for MIcrosoft Networks from the NIC, reattach and then reboot the issue goes away temporarily for a day or two. Then it comes back.
